If $gateway doesn't exist, both pings (iputils- and inetutils-) take ~10s to abort. That's too much time, for me. With upstream we're thinking at two options: 1) explicitely depend on iputils-ping (which has -w) 2) runtime-check which ping is installed, and use -w only where applicable. Obviously 2) should be the way to go, but we haven't investigated this yet (especially, how to detect the two versions on systems different from Debian/Ubuntu). Kindly, David -- . ''`.
