I see no integration with ifupdown in the systemd package.
There is none, and it would not be ifupdown-specific. We could easily enough add a «wait for a default ipv4 and ipv6 default route to appear» unit if somebody desired that, which would be pulled in by network-online.target. It's a pretty trivial piece of code. Alternatively, just put systemctl start network-online.target into a fragment in if-up.d if you consider ifup considering a network interface up to be enough. (I don't, but as pointed out on the systemd wiki page referenced, people have different ideas about what «network online» means.) -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
