Subj : Bringing up interface eth0 (slow)

My PC (with Mandrake 10 Official) should boot normally trying to get a
dhcp network address. No problem there, only sometimes I forget to plug
in the power of our switch at home, so it's delayed like 10-15 seconds
and that's extremely annoying. The booting just stops there until the
network is ok.

Now with my latest knoppix cd (3.4 series) the networking seems smart
enough to do it while 'backgrounding' that stuff.

Is there a way for letting my network-initializing scripts doing this?
