One easy way to see if that is the case is to temporarily disable the Mythfrontend autostart, wait a few seconds and then start Mythfrontend manually. If it starts without putting the country and language screen up then a delay will probably work. Whether you use a simple delay of n seconds or a more involved script that checks to see if the network is running is up to you.

If I read the original posts correctly the OP indicated that it would work after the country / language screen and it appears (from above) that mythfrontend is auto started on boot up.

So +1 from me for adding delay to allow network to be established before starting mythfrontend. Both my Mythbuntu remote FE's have this issue but I rarely reboot them. For Mythbuntu a simple "sleep 5" in the mythfrontend script (which then calls mythfrontend.real in Mythbuntu) solved the problem, although it needs to be re-added after every update.
