Debian 10 probably faces this issue as well.

Network scripts are deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and they are no longer provided by default. The basic installation provides a new version of the ifup and ifdown scripts which call the NetworkManager service through the nmcli tool. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, to run the ifup and the ifdown scripts, NetworkManager must be running.

While ifcfg style files are still available, to apply the changes, the network state will need to invoke NM.

de-scoping this for Magnesium as it will be a very large change and needs some specific planning, likewise we talked about an Epic around this broader topic and I will attempt to make that happen in the next week for all of the deprecated net-tools
