The driver needs to wait for the firmware to be loaded before reporting ready status, and network startup should not report being complete before the driver is ready. We need to get the bug fixed so this works out of the box for everyone! "sleep" is always a bad and unreliable way to do synchronization. Plus, you're blocking the whole system startup for 5 seconds rather than just what depends on networking, because neither SysVInit nor Upstart's SysVInit compatibility mode are capable of parallel booting (whereas systemd is, even in SysVInit compatibility mode thanks to LSB initscript headers, but even more so with native configuration which Lennart is writing). > and I want some output printed to /dev/tty1 during boot You can probably set up simple systemd config files for that using the dependency system, but… ugh! > and I want some filesystems to be mounted with "mount &" because they take > time but only contain data not needed to boot This point is moot with a parallel init system such as systemd! ALL mounts in systemd are background tasks, and autofs magic is used to block accesses to mountpoints which are not ready until they become ready.
