Changing the DHCP Timeout

DHCP by default is set to timeout after like 3 minutes. This can be a real pain if you're booting up looking to connect via wireless and have to wait for eth0 for 3 mins at boot.

To change the timeout in Gentoo, edit /etc/conf.d/net.
The following shows setting it to 10s.

# nano /etc/conf.d/net 
... 
//uncomment the following line 
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
