Is this really necessary still? : : That fixes the case where dhclient never sees a link, but apparently : doesn't deal with the fact that in 8.0 dhclient never starts without : a link-up event. It may be that we need to generate a single link-up : event at startup to provide an equivalent workaround. I thought the way that I did it does this... How is it not doing that?
