DHCPCD hangs on laptop bootup



I've been having some problems getting dhcpcd to reliably install a daemon
on booup.  My latest problem is that if I have the pc-card in (my network is
through the PCMCIA card) but the dongle is not attached, that dhcpcd just
waits until I plug in the dongle (or perhaps for a really long time, I don't
know).  Since I have two dongles, I almost never remove the card when
transporting my laptop.  Is there a way to get around this.  I am kind of
stuck in the middle, since it seems to take a little while to start the
pcmcia services (thus I need to delay or repeat running dhcpcd in the boot
sequence, and if the laptop isn't on the network, then it doesn't like to
have dhcpcd installed at all (or I need to pull the pc-card, which I don't
want to do)

Any ideas?
