Lighttpd & netctl with dhcp and TimeoutCarrier

Hello guys,

I configured the netctl service with the following configuration file :

Description='A basic dhcp ethernet connection'
Interface=enp2s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=dhcp
TimeoutUp=30000000
TimeoutCarrier=30000000

with the idea that if the media isn't plug during the system boot, the dhcp client will still get the a valid IP when the network cable is plug.

Following this point, I use a web server to display local informations of my system, and I realize that if the network negociation isn't done, then the lighttpd server will never be up.

To try to resolve this point, I update the file in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/lighttpd.service as the following

[Unit]
Description=A secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server

[Service]
PrivateTmp=true
ExecStart=/usr/bin/lighttpd-angel -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillSignal=SIGINT

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

(Remove the entry After).

But after this modification, the lighttpd service still doesn't start until a plug a network cable.

How can I resolve this point ?
