Hm, another idea: Start netcfg, with dhcp probing in the background while in the foreground presenting a select question with: "Trying to automatically configure the network..." "Abort network configuration" "Configure network manually" We would need then a means to interrupt this question if DHCP probing is successful. The advantage: The user has full control if and how long he wants to probe for DHCP.
