Raise networking failure

This is NOT request for technical support

I am using this site to let SOMEBODY know that this issue has been "discovered " / posted in 2016 and it is still an issue today 2018!
Not only on Ubuntu 16. 04 but also on Raspian Desktop.
I understand kludges / hacks are nice to TEMPORARY fix problems - but not having a REAL solution in 2 years is not savvy.
