For me, wait-for-network.service appears to be working fairly reliably. Just  
in case anyone wants it, without having to dig through that sordid thread,  
save this in /etc/systemd/system, and don't forget to systemctl enable it.  
Of course, this will only work until systemd's dependency resolution logic  
changes again, with no advance notice:

[Unit]
Description=Wait for network ports to be initialized
Before=network.target network-online.target
After=network.service
Wants=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
