In my case commenting out "auto eth0:1" removes the delay - but my sub interface does not have (and never has had) a gateway address defined.
My /etc/network/interfaces looks like the following (IP addresses removed to protect the innocent): ### Loopback interface ### auto lo iface lo inet loopback ### Primary interface ### auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address xx.xx.xxx.x netmask 255.255.192.0 gateway xx.xx.xxx.x post-up ip addr add xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 dev eth0 pre-down ip addr del xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 dev eth0 dns-nameservers xx.xx.xxx.xx xx.xx.xxx.xx dns-search blah.foo.bar.com ### Secondary interface ### #auto eth0:1 # commented out to prevent delay on start-up iface eth0:1 inet static address xxx.xx.xxx.x netmask 255.255.192.0 # General WLAN iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/default.conf # Office WLAN iface wlan_office inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/office.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043244 Title: "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" when using interface aliases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1043244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
