Public bug reported: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dispatcher.action has an undocumented and unconfigurable "feature" of killing scripts after 3 seconds. For a number of settings this is too short. It is unclear why this killing really has to happen but for sure it would be good to give a bit more time. Find below a patch which gives a bit more lee-way.
