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

[Clint Byrum]

I agree with  your position Steve. "starting rc-sysinit" is actually a
more accurate representation of the intent of failsafe anyway. Once rc-
sysinit has been started, we're no longer in danger of waiting forever.
There is the danger that some other job that is 'start on starting rc-
sysinit' then stops rc-sysinit, but that would be a bug in that job if
it didn't also do something to move booting forward, so I think this is
a safe path to take.

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

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
