This is basically wrong. A system may have more than one interface and
there is no guarantee that one of them is "the right one".

That said, this makes perfect sense, because with NM, this will delay the
start until *after* the first interface comes up, whereas with runlevel 2,
that event will actually come before the first interface is up, so that
starts the window where squid is starting up, polling for DNS entries
and failing, and then it gets HUP just as the interface comes up.

My patch to ignore HUP early on should solve this issue, but I haven't
pushed it back upstream yet.
