Sascha,
I'm guessing that you have a box that is sometimes connected
sometimes not.. like a laptop. If so a dirty fix would be simply doing
chkconfig --level 2345 network off.... which would then mean a manual
start when you do want it to go. Or is this a DHCP timeout? if so
passing the -t option (from the man dhcpcd manpage) allows you to set
the time it will try to get a lease. I believe but have never tried it
this would be set in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX where X
is your NIC.
