net interface Link state changed to UP too late at boot time

[Roberto Nunnari]

Hello list.

I have a couple of FreeBSD boxes here that when booting
the network interface Link state is changed to UP too late.

.. as the systems mount at boot time a NFS FS, it hangs there
and after that I get the following kernel message:

xl0: Link state changed to UP
or (depending on the box booting)
em0: Link state changed to UP


Any hints?
Is there a way to tune it by some sysctl?

Thanks in advance and best regards
