Comment # 2 on bug 911151 from Jason Newton

me too.

I have 2 ports, one hooked up to the lan, the other hooked up to a camera which
I don't have on all the time.  I want this port (eth0) to be up all the time
regardless of if the camera is on or not - I'd prefer its not restarted
(brought down and brought back up) if the camera is power cycled too.

When the camera is off, systemd-analyze shows about 35 seconds hold up waiting
on the interface to come up with:
BOOTPROTO='static'
startmode in at boot / on cable connect / hotplug
Its all the same to this bug.

I think it is waiting for the device to reach the up state and will only
transition there upon "sensing" it.  The way I want this working is the device
is up regardless of the cable being plugged in or not.

I'd already tried debuging this a bit to no success.  I haven't tried updated
versions in 13.2-test and can't for about a week...

Prior - in 13.1 I had ssh in about 8 seconds after power on which is important
to the system I'm running on when I'm frequently testing some software that
needs to come up somewhat fast.  It looks like this and other networking
services are held up as long as wicked wants to wait on that camera port.
