i set up a machine with wifi with an encrypted root fs
i have this "ip=:::::wlan0:on" in my boot command line
during boot it talks to my dhcp to set up a connection so i can remotely unlock the root fs
i know that this is not really secure but lets ignore my stupidity for the moment
anyway it work fine
except when it can not talk to the dhcp
then it just continues try'n forever to connect to the dhcp
this is where i need a timeout
so it will give up and i can unlock the fs at the console
