Radxa Zero minimal (Ubuntu Noble 24.04) image - network-online.target reached early because of delayed wlan0 device loading

[Henry Tung]

See https://github.com/canonical/netplan/pull/456#discussion_r1569065581

 

The way the netplan + networkd integration is designed requires all the network devices (wlan0 in particular) to exist at /sbin/init time - otherwise, the netplan generator disables `systemd-networkd-wait-online.service` which also causes `network-online.target` to be reached early. In particular, this breaks any network FS mounts on boot.

 

Of note, I tried logging in to file the bug via the dev contribution platform, but it looks I'm blocked from JIRA access, so am filing it here instead.

Bug in NetPlan / systemd-networkd or bug in Armbian implementation? We have no options to maintain NetPlan or any other similar complex user space component. Armbian uses Ubuntu  / Debian packages without changes as we are focused into Kernel space, framework, tools, build automation.

 

If there is a workaround, we can push it somewhere. Like this one: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/7f32a5853513745ee6aa55b6d3856ac67ec036e2

Forum is just fine. Armbian itself don't have resources to touch any of this, but someone might know something and help you / everyone.

 

I briefly understand what is the problem, but no idea how to solve it.
