bug.

Agreed. You cannot expect that all your users are able to edit
configuration files to follow changes in network stack. I consider
myself as an experienced user, and I had no idea what caused the delay
and how to fix it until I reported the bug. Especialy, since the "bug"
wasn't exposed immediately after switching the hardware.
