broadband connection establishes then drop after a few seconds

[Louis Bouchard]

When connecting a cell phone to share the cell network connection, the link gets established then drops after a few seconds. Doing the same on Trusty works correctly.

Here is the end of a successful connection on Trusty :

There are traces throughout the wily's log of upstart errors. Might be systemd migration issue ?
