WAG: manual run is post-init processes (systemd).  Auto run is while
init processes are running.  Therefore, auto process is hung waiting on
some other init process while manual process doesn't have to wait on
that.  The auto process waits and never gets notified that what its
waiting on has completed (or perhaps the waiting prevents it from
completing).  The auto process has a chicken-n-egg problem.

Question is:  what is network startup waiting on during init process?
