Networking: show networkd status
Page: Status
Add initial support for systemd-networkd.
I encounter more and more servers where networkd is enabled. NetworkManager and networkd are often running simultaneously.
If networkd is enabled then information from this service should be displayed: State: routable Online state: online Address: 192.168.109.16 on end0 Gateway: 192.168.109.1 on end0 DNS: 192.168.3.24 192.168.3.25 1.1.1.1 Search Domains: example.com
I know I can't count on editing support for networkd. But at least the overall status of the networkd service and network connection is needed.
See issue #17040 for a longer discussion. TL/DR: networkd is not designed for an interactive UI like Cockpit, it has no API. (This is not a deficiency, but a design decision). Showing read-only information is fine of course.
Note that we won't work on this in the cockpit team, but we'll gladly help interested contributors.

It does seem to have a D-Bus API now, although I haven't confirmed that it's enough to cover what is currently needed from NetworkManager

Please start to list network interfaces, address and status. Configuration page may be done in second stage.
