[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#951486: network-manager: network-online.target returns before network has IP address

[Henrik Schmidt]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.22.6-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I want to use autofs with LDAP. I'm using DHCP and network-manager.
 
network-online.target will return before a valid IP address is provided and therefore
autofs.service is invoked too early, failing to bind to the LDAP server.

network-online.target.wants is using NetworkManager-wait-online.service which is the source of the problem.
It is using 'ExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online -s -q --timeout=30' and only if I remove the '-s' parameter,
it is properly waiting for DHCP to negotiate an IP address and autofs can bind afterwar7

systemd-analyze blame shows that NetworkManager-wait-online.service is taking 7 secs with '-s'
and 22 secs without '-s'.
