Subject: [PATCH 4/4] doc: add note about timeouts to Network.Connect()
Date: Wed, 28 May 2025 07:27:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250528142750.498252-4-prestwoj@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250528142750.498252-1-prestwoj@gmail.com>
Since netconfig is now part of the Connect() call from a DBus
perspective add a note indicating that this method has the potential
to take a very long time if there are issues with DHCP.
