[Bug 1720892] Re: 17.10Beta2. networking.service not available

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

ifupdown which provides netowrking.service is no longer installed by
default or used.

desktop systems default to networkmanager for network management, as
they have done since forever.

server and cloud systems in artful default to using src:nplan package,
netplan command line by default. Which generates and uses systemd-
networkd by default.

If you do not wish to use Networkmanager, please write a netplan yaml
config in /etc/netplan and reboot.

netplan command has a helpful `ifupdown-migrate` subcommand, which may
be convenient for you to convert ifupdown e-n-i files into netplan yaml.
A simple example is:

$ cat /etc/netplan/10-netplan.yaml
network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      match:
        name: eth0
      dhcp4: true

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Netplan for more information.
