Make system wait until DHCP has completed
Hello all,
I am having a frustrating problem with DHCP in Ubuntu hardy.
The DHCP system here takes around 10 seconds to retrieve an address.
I am having two problems.
1. The system doesnt wait for DHCP to get an address back so it continues to start services that depend on a network address. How can I get the system to wait until an address has been acquired before it starts more services.
2. The DHCP client executes during boot sometimes doesnt get any offers, but when I either login through gdm or run the client manually it works.
Any help appreciated.
