I am not talking about hotplug network interfaces.  I am talking about
network interfaces available at boot time where it just take too long
to handshake with the switch and get a dhcp reponse.  And those we
should handle.  And we do that with the new nfs mounting code, as long
as ifup is used to take up the network.  So your problem need to be
solved by getting ifup to do what it is supposed to do.  Any idea why
it isn't?  I've noticed some locking issues in ifupdown which I hope
to address when an writable tmpfs is available for it early enough in
the boot.
