Subject: [PATCH v2] ipconfig wait for carrier

Currently the ip auto configuration has a hardcoded delay of 1 second.
When (ethernet) link takes longer to come up (e.g. more than 3 seconds),
nfs root may not be found.

Remove the hardcoded delay, and wait for carrier on at least one network
device.
