rmtfs.service: Fix start/stop ordering between rmtfs and NetworkManager

Loic Poulain · Loic Poulain · commit 5b214f61b9b8 · 2025-06-10T15:10:15.000+02:00
Since rmtfs typically provides resources for wireless and modem-related processors, it's important to ensure that this service starts before and stops after NetworkManager. On platforms like QCOM RB1, this sequencing prevents the Wi-Fi interface(s) from being left in a dangling state while NetworkManager attempts to tear down the interface(s): qualcomm-linux/qcom-deb-images#40 (comment) The 'Before' dependency directive is ignored if NetworkManager is disabled or absent.
