Subject: [gentoo-user] How to run dhclient on the background

1 Hello,
2
3 When I boot my computer I don't want to wait for the dhcp client (in
4 my case dhclient) to acquire a lease to continue the booting process.
5 Instead, I would like that the client could be run in the background
6 (as a daemon) right after it is invoked.
7
8 Reading through the man pages of dhclient it seems like I need to pass
9 the -nw flag to the client. However. I can't find how to do this.
10
11 Any help is welcomed. It seems like I'm the only one with this issue
12 (I don't think so) because I can't find in the internet information
13 about this.
14
15 Thanks in advance,
16 Damian.
