Subject: Commit "ipconfig wait for carrier" makes boot hang for 2 mins if no carrier

Above mentioned commit(3fb72f1e6e6165c5f495e8dc11c5bbd14c73385c) changes
a ~1 sec delay to ~120 sec boot delay if no carrier. This is a really
long time to wait if you just want to set an IP address but doesn't
care about NFS root, holds up the boot with 2 minutes.
