[Bug 848823] Re: nfs-kernel-server requires a real interface to be up

[Stéphane Graber]

Clint: Any progress on this?

Would the following work:
 - Introduce new network-has-address event.
 - Change our scripts to emit this event at the same time as network-static-up when we have a non-loopback interface configured.
 - Add a Network Manager hook to emit it too.
 - Implement a fallback job that times out after 2min (similar to that for network-static-up but without holding the boot).

The rational for a separate event being that I don't think we want to
delay the boot on wireless-only desktop machines by whatever time it
takes to connect to their wireless network, only the services explicitly
requiring it should be delayed.

I wouldn't actually be against not having a timeout at all as these
services will typically fail whenever we reach that timeout anyway.

Does that make sense? did I miss something?
