[SOLVED] Netcfg.service always failing.

Question

Hello,
Since systemd got pushed down with an update I decided to jump the ship (even though roughly a week ago I tried it and decided to wait a while, the irony ) With the help of my previous topic and the knowledge that e4rat does work with systemd, I got everything working and it's working faster than ever too. Win/win if you ask me.
There's only one issue: the netcfg.service that I have enabled with systemctl enable netcfg.service always fail on boot and I have to manually connect later. I don't know why it fails, so I hope you can help me tracking the issue.
This is the output of systemctl status netcfg.service right after booting:
┌─[jente @ lappy ~] 19:39:30
└─■ systemctl status netcfg.service
netcfg.service - Netcfg multi-profile daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netcfg.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:35:04 +0200; 4min 27s ago
Process: 253 ExecStart=/usr/bin/netcfg-daemon start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/netcfg.service
And here's systemctl --failed list-units:
┌─[jente @ lappy ~] 19:39:32
└─■ systemctl --failed list-units
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB JOB DESCRIPTION
netcfg.service loaded failed failed Netcfg multi-profile daemon
LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
JOB = Pending job for the unit.
1 units listed. Pass --all to see inactive units, too.
And here's the journal output:
----- Reboot -----
Aug 31 19:35:04 lappy netcfg-daemon[253]: :: [ESSID] up interface wlan0 does not exist
Aug 31 19:35:04 lappy netcfg-daemon[253]: [fail]
I don't think it's any netcfg configuration file, because it did work with SysV and the net-profiles daemon.

I use a custom "network.service" as I have a static ip on my wireless lan (oh, and I chucked in the hdparm stuff because after suspend I found the disk had lost those settings, so don't copy that line). Based on this wiki section.
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/network.service
