Thanks for the reply kwitty42. Unfortunately you're talking to a linux novice and I am not sure of all the answers but...
I am running Raspian Jessie which does use systemd I believe. I have also confirmed that dnsmasq runs a startup script in /etc/init.d which says that it requires $NETWORK. Can you spell out for me how I check the interface status in the script please?
