Comment 11 for bug 1549473

Robie: If the service offers a mechanism to set a specific NIC to listen on, then the service should make good on that offer when it's requested. Doesn't that make sense to you?

All services that require a NIC to function should wait for that NIC to come alive. Having a service start or attempt to start before what it needs for life support is available makes no sense. Allowing a service to start on a bogus IP address provides no "service". What's the point of having a service technically up if it's deaf to traffic?

I can't see where this qualifies as a wishlist item. The service advertises a feature and doesn't provide it. To me, that's a bug.
