Description Alex Buell 2011-01-31 14:06:11 UTC

NetworkManager really needs to complete its network setup before other network scripts are run, otherwise critical scripts such as ntp-client for example, will not be able to access the network.

NetworkManager reports network availability over dbus. It also has alternative way of executing scripts which aren't dbus aware. It's internal dispatcher will execute scripts from /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d every time interface is changing it's state.

Simple hook script for NTP looks like:

Stopping init to finish network initialisation is unreasonable.
