Description

Hi,

FRR is currently started before completing Wireguard tunnels initialization:

[FRR startup]
2023-06-17 18:48:30 ,754 INFO: Called via "Namespace(input=None, reload=True, test=False, debug=False, log_level='info', stdout=False, pathspace=None, filename='/var/etc/frr/frr.conf', overwrite=False, bindir='/usr/local/bin', confdir='/var/etc/frr', rundir='/var/run/frr', vty_socket=None, daemon='')"

[Wireguard initialization]
Jun 17 18:48:31 fw1 kernel: wg2: changing name to 'tun_wg2'
Jun 17 18:48:31 fw1 kernel: tun_wg2: link state changed to UP

Note that Wireguard starts 1 second after FRR, but in FRR there are already references to the renamed interfaces, which doesn't exist until 1 second later. To workaround this I have to manually restart FRR after each boot.

Just delaying the startup of FRR until Wireguard is fully set up would be enough.

Regards

+1 (fully patched system, same behavior and fix request)
