Hmm, shouldn't DHCP retries take care of this issue, and the server ARP ping we've been talking about take care of it for static configs? I would be a bit concerned that the backoff of dhclient may slow us down more than a second, but I've not investigated if that is true. I'm not really keen on adding a mandatory delay unless there is no other option. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
