I should have been clearer in my speculation -- what I meant is that on 
my backend server, it appears as though the networking is starting 
*after* the 'mythtv-backend' scripts run.  So putting a delay in the 
'mythtv-backend' script to wait for the network would not work.

I just installed 'bootlogd' (I wonder why something so useful isn't 
installed by default?), and the new '/var/log/boot' seems to confirm my 
suspicions:

To answer your original question, it takes about 1:45 for my Atom 330 PC 
to boot completely to a desktop, complete with a wireless connection.  
Hmmm...

Thanks
