[Bug 916890] Re: "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot

[Stéphane Graber]

I think it makes sense for ifupdown to stop processing an interface if
one of the scripts returns a non-zero return code.

I'll go check in the code to see exactly what's the intended behaviour
and confirm that it indeed was an upstream "bugfix" between alpha1 and
beta2 that's causing that change for you.

Title:
  "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgrade from 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu6 to 0.7~beta2ubuntu1 brought this on:
  on every boot the "Waiting for network configuration" and "Waiting up
  to 60 seconds more for network" messages appear and boot is thus about
  2 minutes slower than before. It also says it's booting without
  network, but the network is in fact there after I log in.

  Downgrading back to 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu6 makes the wait go away again.

  Reproduced this on three different computers on two different
  networks, both wired and wireless.
