Synopsis: rc.network hangs for a long time attempting dhcp setup of disconnected interface State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: dwmalone State-Changed-When: Mon Aug 12 12:28:06 PDT 2002 State-Changed-Why: I would have said that it would be a bug not to do DHCP if the interface has been configured for it and might upset people who want to be able to plug the network cable in at a more leasurely pace when they boot their laptops. It also means that dhclient won't be able to use a lease listed in its lease file, even if that lease is valid and the hub/switch/access point you're connected to happens to be temporally down or out of range. I'd suggest that you try reducing the timeouts if the long timeout isn't suitable for your setup. See the timeing options in dhclient.conf man page. I'll close the PR unless you have any objections.
