Nobody has asked to have the ifup command run after the dhcp client.
The ifup launches the dhcp client but the ifup doesn't wait for dhcp
to succeed. How does one make the ifup wait for the dhcp to succeed?
For example, Google found a changelog entry from Ubuntu which suggests
that Ubuntu's ifupdown waits for dhcp on eth0. Can one configure ifup
to wait for dhcp on wlan0, or do I have to patch the source?
