Stephen,

Whereas I have no doubt that this has worked for you, I'd like to probe
whether it will work for everyone. Specifically, do you know whether
16.04 runs NetworkManager even on servers? Because I know that at least
in earlier Ubuntu versions NetworkManager was only run on desktop
machines, which mythtv backends are not necessarily.

Furthermore, NetworkManager can be overridden by entries in
/etc/network/interfaces, for example in order to configure static IP
addresses on some interfaces even if NetworkManager continues to be used
to manage other interfaces on that machine.

So I guess the underlying question is whether a generic trigger exists
in systemd that signals that network configuration is complete (if
indeed the one you cited isn't already it).

Thanks, Jan
