It seems to be a tricky one as the network interfaces are BSP-specific.
This is a follow-on to:

    systemd: Network configuration for minnow board

    Adding network configuration for minnow board.

Which adds:

+++ b/recipes-core/systemd/systemd/10-dhcp.network
@@ -0,0 +1,5 @@
+[Match]
+Name=en*
+
+[Network]
+DHCP=yes

This is specific to Minnow having an en0 interface, while other boards
might have eth0, or some other name. The DHCP bit is arguably a DISTRO
policy however.

Perhaps a more generic version which matches a host of common names
would be better and we could drop this rather basic one from meta-minnow
all together.
