This is the expected behaviour, we have a timeout at 2 minutes though
since 11.10.
Quite a few systems require almost a minute for the link to appear, so
there's no way we can reliably depend on that. As for cases where the
interface doesn't exist, on quite a few system, it just doesn't exit
"yet". New systems with an impressive number of network cards can take
minutes before the kernel creates the network card.
