Package: ifupdown Tags: patch Here is proposed patch.
Since the unit type is oneshot, we can have multiple ExecStart statements. Note that we have to use '--ignore-errors'. Otherwise if we have real hotplug interface that is not present at the moment of restart, `ifup` returns non-zero and systemd unit fail. diff --git a/debian/networking.service b/debian/networking.service index 593172b..7ad246b 100644 --- a/debian/networking.service +++ b/debian/networking.service @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ WantedBy=network-online.target Type=oneshot EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/networking ExecStart=/sbin/ifup -a --read-environment +ExecStart=/sbin/ifup -a --allow=hotplug --ignore-errors --read-environment ExecStop=/sbin/ifdown -a --read-environment --exclude=lo RemainAfterExit=true TimeoutStartSec=5min
