Not as far as I'm aware. I'm not even aware of any WAIT_FINISHED or WAIT_START 
variables at all

The problem here is that unless you have a MANDATORY interface, the network 
script will finish almost instantly, leaving everything to run in the 
background.

If it is MANDATORY, the network script won't finish until it's initialized, 
and everything that depends on $network will wait for it
