Public bug reported: Hi,
Running Ubuntu 24.04 with netplan.io/netplan-generator 1.0-2ubuntu1. I use a systemd unit to mount an NFS filesystem. That unit should only be activated when the network is ready. However, it looks like network- online.target is reached before netplan-configured interfaces are up, so the unit triggers too early and sometimes fail (because it cannot resolve the name of the remote server). I configured netplan manually with: ``` # cat /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml --- network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: eno1: dhcp4: true ``` I see the following during boot: ``` Apr 27 23:31:28 localhost systemd[1]: Starting systemd-networkd.service - Network Configuration...

Why doesn't netplan generate that symlink? It seems it does generate it, but only later, when systemd reloads at 23:31:29 (according to 'stat' on the symlink). It worked fine with Ubuntu 22.04: "systemd[1]: Reached target Network is Online." only appears after the interface got configured via DHCP.
