Title:
  event "net-device-up" is triggered too early

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifupdown

  Hello,

  on booting, the event "net-device-up" is triggered too early. The
  event is "sent" to other jobs immediately after the ifup command has
  been executed, but neither ifup nor the calling script /etc/network
  /if-up.d/upstart perform a test if the network connection is really
  working. The result of this behaviour is that a job needing network
  functionality, e.g. mounting NFS filesystems, is possibly started
  before other network machines are reachable and makes the computer
  hang. This happens when the network interface needs some time to
  negotiate the ethernet parameters with the network switch.

  Regards
    Christoph
