Depends on what you consider major effort, but yeah, it requires a patch. But I don't see why upstream shouldn't merge such a patch so it should be a one-time effort. It's imho the right way to fix this. Everything else looks like a distro specific hack. > The third option suggests that the network manager option mentioned > there is what one would need for ifupdown, and I don't have the > slightest idea how one could guess whether the networks is "done" now. The third option that was mentioned there, is using the NetworkManager-wait-online.service. This depends on using systemd though. In systemd, services can declare a dependency on "network.target", and the NetworkManager-wait-online.service can block this target until the network is actually up, i.e. NM has established a connection. I don't think it would fix your problem though. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
