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

[bancaldo]

A similar problem for me with Ubuntu 12.04.

If I have the default situation in /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

there are no problems.
 
If I enable wlan0 for wireless connection (i.e.):

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
....

the wi-fi connection has no problem, but if I reboot I Have the 'Waiting for...' message.
After 2 minutes and with wired cable unplugged I can login but I have to "clean" /etc/network/interfaces
to the default situation.
Even if I connect the wired cable, I have no connection.
The network manager icon has disappeared and I get an app crash error message.
I have to reboot again and then everything works fine, no 'waiting' message, connection ready and network manager
working...


bye
ps. Sorry for my poor english...

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.
