We have servers which are all automatically configured by adding simple static 
entries to /etc/network/interfaces.  Upon reboot, it's network reachable within 
about ten seconds while the monitor is hung saying, "Waiting 60 more seconds 
for network configuration..." - but it is pingable and accepting ssh 
connections with no problems.  

Commenting out the sleep stanzas worked here also, but it would be far
better if the test checked properly and didn't start sleeping when
everything was up.  Either that or maybe something in /etc/default to
tell it not to check period, I will maintain my own interfaces file.
Here's an example interfaces file, I think this is all syntactically
correct?:

root@19r8s12:/etc# cat /etc/network/interfaces

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.181
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

root@19r8s12:/etc#
