I have a firewire netowork cable whit fixed IP in /etc/network/interfaces, and have the same problem. I do a workaround with this tip (comment the sleeps lines):
http://askubuntu.com/questions/185515/disable-network-configuration- services-during-boot-time A better ideea than disabling the service is to remove the sleep time. To do this, open /etc/init/failsafe.conf with your favourite editor, and around line 25 you should see the following lines of code: # Plymouth errors should not stop the script because we *must* reach # the end of this script to avoid letting the system spin forever # waiting on it to start. $PLYMOUTH message –text=”Waiting for network configuration…” || : sleep 40 $PLYMOUTH message –text=”Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration…” || : sleep 59 $PLYMOUTH message –text=”Booting system without full network configuration…” || : To solve your problem, just comment the sleep times (add '#' in front of the text). It should look like this: # Plymouth errors should not stop the script because we *must* reach # the end of this script to avoid letting the system spin forever # waiting on it to start. $PLYMOUTH message –text=”Waiting for network configuration…” || : #sleep 40 $PLYMOUTH message –text=”Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration…” || : #sleep 59 $PLYMOUTH message –text=”Booting system without full network configuration…” || : -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916890 Title: "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/916890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
