Network.service failed starting: No suitable device found

I recently installed Centos 7 minimal version on my Raspberry PI 3B+. Network seems to be working ( i am able to ssh to it), but network.service is failing to start. Below journalctl output:

-- Unit network.service has begun starting up.

aaand below my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 file:

HWADDR=B8:27:EB:BC:30:B5

Another issue is that i have double IP, despite having static IP configured in ifcfg-wlan0 file, as you can see above. First that is dynamically populated by my router's dhcp server and second which i specified in ifcfg-wlan0 file as static IP. Any idea what should i do different to have just one static ip?

FYI, after OS installation, there was no ifcfg files, so i had to create ifcfg-wlan0.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

I have not tried installing CentOS 7 on a Pi so I am not sure how it is different then a regular PC. Typically NetworkManager controls all networking functions by default and therefore no need for the ifcfg- files.

You can either use NetworkManager and configure wlan0 with a static IP address using its applet in the desktop or command line utility or disable it completely and do everything manually.

What michaelk said. I've not yet decoded the CentOS 7 differences re: NetworkManager and using network-scripts, tho, so I'm watching with interest.

I do note, however, that yes, your wlan appears to be working. The error you're getting appears to be related to the loopback configuration. Maybe you need to create ifcfg-lo?

Thanks for replies.
I found what was wrong with network.service and why it wasn't starting.
I turned out, that there was file ifcfg-link, in which below lines were written:

DEVICE=link
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=on

After renaming this file with orig, so the system won't find it, network.service starts up.
However, when i then disable NetworkManager to operate just on network-scripts, it turns out link is needed after all, as network service fails to start with following output:

-- Unit network.service has begun starting up.

Any idea what should i write into it, so this would work with just static IP from ifcfg-wlan0?
Also, i still can't get rid off the double IP problem, when NetworkManager is running.
