Arch Linux

Description:
There doesn't currently seem to be a way to start network profiles while running systemd, so the attached systemd service file is an attempt to bring this functionality to the netcfg package.

The lazy method would have been just doing a "/etc/rc.d/net-profiles start" like in network.service, but I hope that the better method is using systemd's instantiated services method to have a generic unit file that can be symlinked as different profiles.

It is meant to be used in this fashion (where ${profile_name} is a valid netcfg profile under /etc/network.d):

ln -s /lib/systemd/system/net-profiles@.service /etc/systemd/system/net-profiles@${profile_name}.service

I'm not quite sure how this would be behave if you wanted to use the "menu" profile, but I don't use the menu, nor can I imagine it working under systemd's parallel startup environment.

I hope that this helps and meets any quality requirements. It's my first systemd unit file, so I apologize if I made any mistakes.
