Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
dhclient delays the first packet for up to five seconds for no good reason.
This is especially annoying on laptops because it increases the time from
suspend/resume (with the WiFi turned off) until the system is fully usable
again.
More information and a trivial patch [3] (also attached to this ticket) are
available from the Fedora bugtracker (ticket #587070 [1]). Upstream has
promised to remove the delay [2] several years ago but it's still there.

The upstream code has been significantly revised, and it looks like
initial delay should be much reduced. Please reopen if that isn't the
case.
Best wishes,
