network setup seems correct, but systemctl mark it as failed

Hi,

following the wiki, I've created the file /etc/conf.d/netowork@eth0, with following content:

address=10.42.0.1
netmask=24
broadcast=10.42.0.255

Then, I've created the file /etc/systemd/system/network@eth0.service:

[Unit]
Description=Network connectivity (%i)
Wants=network.target
Before=network.target
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/network@%i

ExecStart=/usr/bin/ip link set dev %i up
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ip addr add ${address}/${netmask} broadcast ${broadcast} dev %i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ip route add default via ${gateway}

ExecStop=/usr/bin/ip addr flush dev %i
ExecStop=/usr/bin/ip link set dev %i down

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And I've enabled the script and disabled dhcpcd@eth0.service, which was there by default. On boot, eth0 gets right ip address and settings, however, if you write check the list of active services, I see:

UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB     DESCRIPTION

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

25 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

Where, as you can see at line 7, it marks my network script as failed. I thought wicd could interfere, but in wicd settings I've set no wired interface, so that it manages only wlan0.

Re: network setup seems correct, but systemctl mark it as failed

Can you assign a static ip adress from the console, with the ip command ?

No. Issued the command, but ifconfig shows that my ip is still the same I've assigned to it at boot.

Disable any networking services that start at boot, reboot, and follow the link i posted. Then post the output of the commands, and don't run only the first command.
EDIT: Do not use ifconfig, use ip.
