Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] System tries to get its address by DHCP before dnsmasq starts up - how to stop it?

2012-10-05 Thread Jay Imerman
There is a NetworkManager.conf file, in there the line dns= should
Jane dnsmasq as the setting. I haven't noticed any delays in my setup,
same thing: 12.04 with static IP v4 settings, it is nice and snappy.

 Further to this the delay is cause by /etc/init/failsafe.conf, even if I
 have static IP correctly configured in /etc/network/interfaces the silly

 waiting for DHCP.

 Google searches just produce the standard way to set up static IP but
 no workaround for the delays.

 Is the machine running NetworkManager?  If so it could be a
 misconfiguration issue or an Upstart dependency issue.
