: 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.
