[systemd-devel] sshd.service fails on boot when primary listener is a bridge (br0) instead of real interface (eth0). What dependency is needed?

You need to have upper limit, otherwise your system will hang
indefinitely when booting if interface is not present. Today we probably
can remove this upper limit in networking layer and simply rely on
systemd standard timeout.


In any case - you managed to NEVER say whether increasing above
mentioned timeout solved your problem or not. Neither here not in bug
report.
