20 Around line 159 in my net.example says:
21 # By default don't wait for wpa_suppliant to associate and authenticate.
22 # If you would like to, so can specify how long in seconds
23 #associate_timeout_eth0=60
24 # A value of 0 means wait forever.

26 It may be possible that you need to set this variable to 0 to prevent
27 backgrounding, independent of the ifplugd/netplug quashing.
