[Bug 882178] [NEW] Change of MAC address hangs boot process for 30-60 seconds

[Frank]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Virtualbox with a Ubuntu 11.10 machine, which I cloned in order to do some tests.
This cloned machine recieved a new MAC address, booting the new machine causes the boot process to hang for 30-60 seconds without actually initializing the network.

The old interface is still in /etc/udev/70-persistent-net.rules and
somehow causing the network initialize to hang and eventually fail.
