My settings are these, which must be the default. It seems a hack to just wait a certain amount of time. My wireless goes through an access point that seems to take various amounts of time to respond to dhcp requests. I would expect a flag that tells when an interface is fully configured. Is this timeout the only way? I see that the system does count down 20 (from WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES I guess) when setting up the interfaces. I will extend this and see what I get.
As always, you can always use a script to determine when certain conditions are met, before starting something. As I mentioned in another note, you could always ping the ntp site and then fire up ntp when successful.
