I might as well just add some facts and my logs. First of all, I have one Xenial node where open vswitch worked, guessing that that time open vswitch daemon started before trying to setup network. And then on other machines it doesn't work cause the daemon isn't started before trying to setup networking.
Here are the logs from a broken system. ``` Sep 12 16:11:07 vm10 systemd[1]: Reached target Network. Sep 12 16:11:07 vm10 systemd[1]: networking.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
