Problem: I cannot get a static IP on the ethernet port.

Aim: Trying to setup a static IP on the Realtek built-in ethernet (enp3s0) port so I can connect the server to my desktop via a crossover cable. At the moment, there is no cable connected between the 2.

Setup: Ubuntu Bionic server edition with Intel WiFi card and a Reaktek ethernet port. During installation, I had to connect the ethernet port to my modem/router as the Ubuntu installer cannot recognize my WiFi card.

Things I've tried:

1. I disabled my WiFi card and then I've tried using just "dchp4: true" and then connected a cable from the port to my modem/router. No issues getting an IP and pinging a site.




2. I've tried with and without "renderer: networkd", no difference.




3. I've tried with and without "dhcp4" false", no difference.




4. I've tried with and without gateway4, no difference.




5. I've tried with and without nameservers, no difference.




6. sudo netplan --debug apply doesn't show any errors




7. I looked at the generated config inside /run/systemd/network (included below) and looks ok.




8. Debugged systemd-networkd as suggested by this page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSystemd) and I can see this line: "enp3s0: Link is not managed by us". That doesn't seemed right as I don't have anything else managing my interfaces and as I said in no.1, using DHCP worked.

Here's my current config:

>cat /etc/netplan/01-wireless.yaml
network:
 version: 2
 renderer: networkd
 wifis:
 wlp2s0:
 dhcp4: true
 access-points:
