OK - I've verified that it is the frontend coming up before the network so
I've added the following into the mythfrontend.sh script to ensure the
network is up.

    until [ `cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate` = 'up' ]
    do
        sleep 1
    done

The name of the interface may change according to udev rules so best to
check with ifconfig what your's is called!!
