First of all, I can confirm this on Feisty, updated last night, with kernel 2.6.20-14-generic (on x86, of course).
Second of all: "sudo update-rc.d -f networking remove" == nasty hack. blanking out /etc/network/interfaces == nasty hack. These scripts are here for a reason -- so you don't have to manually configure your stuff all the time. Maybe I'm not understanding how this all works, but here's my /etc/network/interfaces: [code] auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp auto eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp wpa-driver madwifi wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp [/code] Now, for people with wired connections running off of dhcp, this hack will work fine. but for people with a little more under the hood, say, atheros madwifi, or static IPs, or several other scenarios, this isn't going to work for obvious reasons -- if i empty out this file, then i'll have to manually configure wifi each time i need it, i.e. every boot. If I remove the networking script, sure, I don't have hang -- because it's not attempting to do anything with networking. Maybe I'm being naive. I really don't know how this new NetworkManager deal works, and maybe I'm being obtuse and old-fashioned. But this is not a solution.
