hmmm, but what should I use for the source ip, I only assign those
when I bring the interface up when I start the interface -- I have
something like this:
[Unit]
Description=Network Connectivity for %i
Documentation=man:ip
Before=network.target
Wants=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=/bin/ip link set dev %i up
ExecStart=/bin/ip addr add ${address}/${netmask} broadcast ${broadcast} dev %i
ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -n ${gateway} && /bin/ip route add default via ${gateway}"
ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -f /etc/conf.d/postup@%i.sh&&/bin/bash  -c /etc/conf.d/postup@%i.sh"
ExecStop=/bin/ip addr flush dev %i
ExecStop=/bin/ip link set dev %i down
ExecStop=-/bin/bash -c "test -f /etc/conf.d/postdown@%i.sh&&/bin/bash  -c /etc/conf.d/postdown@%i.sh"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and the  /etc/conf.d/network@eno1  is

address=192.168.0.1
netmask=24
broadcast=192.168.0.255
So, before I run this, I don't think the card has any ip address, does
it?
