[ale] Remove systemd network handling

[Jim Kinney]

Cats are the particles of entropy. Were it not for cats, the universe would have already crystalized into a solid instead of continuing to disperse and expand. 

Every usb charger cable in my house is enclosed in split loom shielding now.  Apparently the more expensive cables are quite tasty and/or confused with grass.

Systemd kicked the other init systems to the curb where they belong with the rest of the legacy cruft like mfm and rll drives. As soon as systemd can finally replace java, the world will truly be at peace. Assuming any usb cables still work...
