XBMC shouldn't need to wait for the network, I don't know why it's configured this way...

@f1vefour

it is not waiting for network until you have network mounts (noauto is not considered) - even by mistake not considering cifs/smb (i will fix this).

dhcp bound time was shortly discussed by me during beta2 development as this is related to reported issue(s) with let's say broken dhcp servers - or servers not fully complying to RFCs. among 5 different clients (including kernel intern IP auto config) - and only original isc-dhcp* packages were able to get IP.

if you remove it, dhcp will be handled by custom script based on busybox's udhcpc scripting and klibc tool set. in my case 9s (isc-dhcp) vs 1s to bound dhcp address from network IF in "down" state (only limited testing).

(after you remove isc-dhcp* you can install dhcpcd package, udhcpc, pump, dhcpcd5. don't remember more)
