Having issues with a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.10 to manage wired network.
During install it would detect 4 ports, and I configured one with DHCP and disabled all others. It's a very simple configuration, the wire is always connected and will serve a DHCP address, but everytime I boot the systemd-networkd-wait-online.service fails.
My motherboard is a SuperMicro X9DRI-LN4F with 4 on-board ports.
When booting up the device I see the following:

I also see that udev tries to rename devices and sometimes upon rebooting my connected eth3 link becomes eno1 (same MAC address) and eth3 disappears.

Once the system fully boots when I login and do a ip link show and my eth3 shows as down.

I have to manually run these steps to get it back online and it works every time.
sudo ip link set dev eth3 up
sudo dhclient
I've tried about everything I can think of, even the aliases in netplan.
# This is the network config written by 'subiquity'

Here's the output of networkctl (after manually bringing up the eth3 interface)
