I just reinstalled my RPI3 router from Eoan to Focal but a lot of things about networkd broke. I'm not sure whether they are related or not.
The first thing I noticed was, that I did not get my upstream DNS servers. I use a dispatcher script to extract the information from the json environment variable when my uplink becomes routable. Using a test script to dump the environment I found this:
Note that the script worked perfectly fine on Eoan.
Also when I tried to get the dump above, I ran the following command after installing the test-script:
ip link delete wan type vlan; systemctl restart systemd-networkd
in order to force networkd to recreate and reconfigure my uplink interface. Doing this resulted in all connectivity with the router being lost (up- and downstream). After a restart, I found the following in the networkd journal indicating that networkd had in fact crashed.
