Hi everybody. I'm a developer of the FreeSBIE project (just another
FreeBSD-on-a-live-cd project).
As default network configuration, we've reasonally chosen a dhcp
configuration, which is great on a dhcp network, but ugly when it has to
wait for timeout.
I also had the same problem with my mobile-pc, when it's not attached to
my LAN.
We could modify rc.network by adding a & to the dhclient row, but we are
looking for a more efficient way.
Can an optional flag be added (configurable in rc.conf)?

Thanks in advance,
Dario
