I can't really say without a log. :-(

If you have only v4 and v6 autoconfig gets in the way, use ipv4only=1.

Uhm, that might explain it. netwait is currently not applied to static
configs (yes, a bug). :-/

For testing, you can use 'debug.wait=net:2501'. Whis will stop right after
'wicked ifup' and offer you a shell for debugging. Just wait there and
continue when the network is ready.
