Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: netbase

I'm trying to write myself a little iptables init script. This script
uses ifconfig ppp0 to find the dynamic ip of the ppp0 interface.

According to /etc/rcS.d/README:
* After the S40 scripts have executed, all local file systems are mounted
  and networking is available. All device drivers have been initialized.

So, if I symlink my script as /etc/rcS.d/S41iptables, ifconfig ppp0
should work, right? Well, sometimes (not always) the output of ifconfig
ppp0 is empty, meaning that ppp0 is NOT up. Adding sleep 1 at the top my
script seems to "fix" this, but of course this isn't a real solution.

In case it is relevant: ppp0 is a pppoe device.

Could you please make /etc/init.d/networking wait, until all networking
devices show up in ifconfig? Thanks.
