Hi,

thanks for the report.

I'll have to investigate if that's the correct fix in general. Afaict
network-online.target does less than what the name says, i.e. some
interfaces might still be configuring even at that point. Usual
symptoms are IPv6 devices that are still in address discovery.

I'll let you know what the outcome is.
