    ipconfig wait for carrier
    
    v3 -> v4: fix return boolean false instead of 0 for ic_is_init_dev
    
    Currently the ip auto configuration has a hardcoded delay of 1 second.
    When (ethernet) link takes longer to come up (e.g. more than 3 seconds),
    nfs root may not be found.
    
    Remove the hardcoded delay, and wait for carrier on at least one network
    device.

What will happen if there is more than one NIC, but only one if those
NICs is being configured with a static IP address (i.e. no auto
configuration)?
