if you don't have firmware installed for the PHY to come to life, this wait can be painful - let's give the option to avoid it if we want.

I've always wanted this change, but never looked into how to implement it.
However, it should be noted that this change is somewhat lessened in impact by the proposal to change the timeout to be only 2 seconds, instead of ...whatever it is now.
But even with 2 seconds, it's annoying to wait for N ports to be tried when you know none of them are hooked up. Or that you forgot to properly set the ipaddr, anyway.
