network-online.target by itself does absolutely nothing. You are 
expected to have some service that is ordered 
Before=network-online.target and actually waits until network is online. 
Standard network management applications that asynchronously configure 
interfaces (NetworkManager, systemd-networkd) have matching services. 
Some implementations (like SUSE wicked) are synchronous and 
network-online.target is effectively noop. Nothing stops you from 
creating your own service that performs custom checks.
