What did you see in the tcpdump session which showed that it was nfsmount and
not the kernel which was responsible for the traffic?

The driver is obviously loaded and working, because the interface exists and
DHCP worked. ipconfig does DHCP and configures the interface before exiting.
Where is it that you feel it should wait?

Adding a sleep before attempting the NFS mount, as I have done to work around
this problem, is not the correct solution.
