systemd has no clue when your network is "ready", since that might
mean many things. i.e. did you acquire a DHCP lease? did you just UP
the iface? Did you reach some server? in systemd we can't know this,
as in particular on clients and on servers "network ready" means very
different things.

If you use systemd-network-wait-online.service you can configure what
"up" means. It's not enabled by default, but you can do that with
"systemctl enable". It's not enabled by default since in the general
case we don't want the local boot to be delayed because of some
external condition.

If you use NetworkMAnager there's a similar service.

I am sorry, what?
