You are right. I took it from the setup.cmd file because I really didn't know
any better. I don't see it in the help, either.

If you specify a 0 for wait time, then it does not pause for DHCP, but it keeps
trying in the background. I found it can take quite a while for DHCP to work on
my machine. For example, I'll run this command, and my friend will then look
for the access point, then look for a power cord, then plug it in, then
configure, and it can take a random amount of time.

I can't try this right now, but it looks right. I've saved it for future use.

I looked in setup.cmd as my reference. I think the interfaces are called by
some other name in Unix, but this looked good enough. I've never had more than
two network adapters in a machine, so I only assume it works for higher numbers.
