Hello,

When I boot my computer I don't want to wait for the dhcp client (in
my case dhclient) to acquire a lease to continue the booting process.
Instead, I would like that the client could be run in the background
(as a daemon) right after it is invoked.

Reading through the man pages of dhclient it seems like I need to pass
the -nw flag to the client. However. I can't find how to do this.

Any help is welcomed. It seems like I'm the only one with this issue
(I don't think so) because I can't find in the internet information
about this.

Thanks in advance,
Damian.
