Public bug reported:
I think the DHCP client only runs upon startup. So if I boot my computer
up, and then plug my network cable in to eth0, it doesn't retry with the
DHCP client when the link finally comes up. I have to wait until the
DHCP retry begins.
Also, and I guess this is another bug, but it tries to fetch an address
even if the link state is down, both on ethernet and WLAN. This really
slows the startup.
