Yep. Likewise. Uninstalled sendmail on Ubuntu 14.04. Upgraded to 14.10. Subsequently had "waiting for network configuration" during boot, and no network conection and no network manager after boot. Reinstalled sendmail, restarted, and then purged the newly installed sendmail. Now everything seems to be working as normal.

Haven't had any network trouble before the upgrade. After the upgrade, the network-manager service does not start when the computer boots up - the Kubuntu splash screen says 'waiting for network configuration', then 'waiting another 60 seconds for network configuration' (or something like that), then finally boots up without a network connection. Also the Network Management tray icon tooltip says that the network-manager service is not running. However if I then manually open the terminal and run 'sudo service network-manager start', then it starts ok and the network connects within a few seconds and everything works ok until the next reboot. I'm on a desktop PC with a wired LAN connection and no wifi adapter. network-manager version is 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu28.
