ifup on my machine waits until DHCP has acquired a lease before continuing,
presumably to stop this very scenario.  If NetworkManager does things
differently, then it's stupider than I thought (and I already think pretty
poorly of it).

I think the submitter needs to do more diagnostics on their system; it's
pretty obvious that they're running or doing something non-standard or not
recommended.
