How to doing polling in a recipe

Currently remote_file resource keeps getting the following error:

Error connecting to
http://SOMEURL/yum/5/x86_64/omakase-release-5-2.noarch.rpm -
Connection timed out - connect(2)

Basically the network configuration is not ready when the recipe got
triggered.
I would hope there is a resource I can use to wait and poll the status.

Is there a way to fix this?

You could use the "retries" and "retry_delay" common attributes for this
purpose:

Just include retries or both attributes (if you want to control delay
between tries) as attributes in your remote_file resource.
