[Bug 900903] Re: "Waiting for network configuration"

[Adam Porter]

I have encountered the same problem immediately upon rebooting after upgrading to Oneiric.  Here is my /etc/network/interfaces file, which is has NOT CHANGED since upgrading from Natty to Oneiric:
----
# 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
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
----
Apparently something in the init scripts has changed and is forcing either the "auto eth0" or the dhcp line to wait a LONG time for an address.  This is a horrible regression from Natty.

** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
