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

After quite some digging (I'm not very good at it ;). I found
/var/log/syslog and found out that my DHCP-client was hanging around
waiting for answer on my wired eth0, even though no cable is connected.

Maybe its my computer that is broken, but I disabled "iface eth0 inet
dhcp" and "iface eth1 inet dhcp" in /etc/networking/interfaces, and now
it boots fast without the "waiting for network". And once inside, all
interfaces works well.

Hope this helps someone, and it would be great if someone more skilled
looked into this. I'd gladly give any help I can. :)

Title:
  "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
