[driverloader] speeding up boot on FC2

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

if you use a pre-compiled RPM, then the module is already compiled and 
the compilation will not take place at boot. Since these packages do not 
have the source code included, compilation is impossible.

Are you sure that this is the DriverLoader service which take so much 
time to start? It could be another service which could wait for an event 
to complete, for example, a netwotk interface which is waiting for its 
IP information from a slow DHCP server.
