Sure... the exact change I've made is that:

So as you can see this is also written to /root/
network-restarter.log.2 . Both network-restarter.log* files are
completely fresh versions (no longer containing the stuff from the
previous mail... I renamed them here in the mail to avoid confusion.

Attached is also the journalctl -alb output from 4 consecutive reboots.

I made 6 reboots with the sleep (only included the first 4 here in the
logs)... in all of them the network was brought up correctly (as you can
see from the network-restarter.log, which contains no entry of manually
restarting the networking.
So your guess seem to be right.


Cheers,
Chris.
