Comment 4 for bug 125687

My second test did not fare so well. Even with sysvinit, there seems to be a race condition with samba.

I believe the right course it to put logic into the startup script to wait for the network. In my first test case, spanning-tree portfast was set on the switch in question, which leads to faster negotiation times at layer 2 on the network.

My second test case did a full auto-negotiate, leading me to believe that having samba wait for network state may be the right thing to do.
