(Get the code!)
No, the race I am talking about is totally different (I got a few of the
technicalities slightly wrong before):
- The hotplug init script calls net.agent, and calls net.ifup
- net.ifup sleeps until a file is created
- While net.ifup is sleeping, another init script is started that needs networking
- net.ifup hasn't raised the network yet
- The init script that needs networking fails 'cause the network isn't up yet
- the interface is finally raised by net.ifup
