[Bug 950662] Re: Waiting for network message on bootup when all network devices are up

[taj]

Dear Clint,

You are right. This is not an nm-applet issue, nm-applet not showing up
was an indicator of the problem.

It is however an upstart issue that happens with a fresh install as I
described in #22. I had not touched /etc/network/interfaces, its
settings were generated during system install, I guess.

The "waiting for network" message on bootup problem started after I
removed the ethernet cable to boot with only wifi. After that even
booting with ethernet cable gave the message and waiting time, though I
was able to use my network connection after being logged in. This issue
seems pretty similar to the bug description. The issue lasted until I
decided to remove all network interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces,
except the loopback interface (#23).

Anyway, for me the #23 workaround works (and after a while it even shows
available wifi networks). Maybe for others, too.

Title:
  Waiting for network message on bootup when all network devices are up

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Machine is an Asus EeePC 900, running a fresh (post-beta1) install of
  Precise.

  I get a "waiting for network" message on bootup, even though eth0 is
  connected and wlan0 is active and within range of the access point.
  Commenting out lines in /etc/network/interfaces doesn't make any
  difference.

  The message doesn't appear every time but bootup is still annoyingly
  slow.
