The timeout for dhcp configuration in with the debconf display is 15
seconds. Sometimes dhcp can take longer than this to get a lease and
then succeed after the debconf display has indicated an error,
particularly with wireless. I have seen this a few times, but i'm not
sure what the original thoughts were irt the timeout for dhcp configuration.
