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

Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ifupdown source package in Precise:
  Won't Fix

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
