I may be having a different problem than other posters on this bug
report. My internet connection is a WPA-secured wireless connection. The
interface is brought up at boot time, and NTP is started. However, the
wireless card does not connect to the router before I log in and enter
my keyring password (which unlocks the WPA password). At that time, ntpd
has already figured out that it cannot connect to any of the time
servers:
Oct 7 14:17:43 localhost ntpd_initres[5377]: couldn't resolve
`ntp.ubuntu.com', giving up on it
Now, when the wireless interface connects to the router and gets
configured via DHCP, NTP does not do anything anymore.
I guess that most people using laptops with WPA-secured wireless
networks suffer from the same problem. I believe the default
configuration should work with this kind of setup (as it appears to be
increasingly common).

ntp is being brought up before network is ready, causing ntp to not resolve any
ip or host names and it appears ntp does not recover
