: With dhclient, the problem is really not that bad. Within 3 seconds : you normally get the lease. Which means, that we could add a script : which checks, if the dhclient interface has a 0.0.0.0 adress (or even : check if the default route is set), and then sleeps and blocks the : boot process. The applications which really need this could rely : then on the script. And all other setups without this would boot : faster. Hmmm, if the link isn't up within 3 seconds, tossing things into the background seems to be a good compromise. Warner
