At the IETF they're having a slight DHCP issue where sometimes it can take a minute or more to get a response. Yeah, this is a broken DHCP server, but NM seems to time out at 45 second, whereas running dhclient directly (via ifup) seems to do a much better job, mostly because it doesn't stop at 45 seconds. Is there some way to configure NM to extend that time? I looked in gconf but couldn't find a configuration parameter to set the DHCP timeout. Does one exist or is 45s hardcoded? -derek --
Unfortunately 45 Seconds is hard coded in nm-dhcp-manager.c
