That's true.. Or it could be that the DHCP server needs hostname information
to return an IP address, which Redhat's default DHCP client has no option
for (in the last version I tried anyway). Some @Home clients are obligated
to send out their hostname with their DHCP client to get a response. Otherwise,
the init process hangs for quite a while (just like in this case)..
