I'm seeing a similar problem to this on one of my developer machines. Here's what seems to be the startup order:
Network is configured, except for the interface listed as "roaming" ntpd starts, fails to resolve server names, finds nowhere to sync to roaming interface gets a dhcp address ntpdate tries to run, fails because ntpd has the port open Is there a fix for this that won't complicate future automatic version upgrades? I switched the interface from roaming to dhcp, which should fix the issue with ntpd, but I don't see how that will let ntpdate run.
