I must have mis-understood his request.

Unfortunately, the informationa returned by "rcnetwork status" was not
complete or completely valid.  Ie, from a servier I maintain still running
11.2 on sysinitv:

wahoo:~ > rcnetwork status

lo has unknown interface type. Please file a bug report.
wlan0 has unknown interface type. Please file a bug report.

Service "netowrk" is up and active on eth0 which is configured in yast and
is the connection to wahoo server.

I guess a better and more informative answer to "network status" would
have been "ifconfig" which provides much of the above although in much
different format.

I did read this thread and agree that *most* of it was posturing and
uninformative or completely off-topic, an unfortunate problem with lists
that have no moderator.

Thanks for your informative digest.  I see much good and much lacking in
systemd, but it appears to be the *future*.  I guess it is time to be
issuing multiple and plentiful bug reports  :^).
