Title:
  Even if network is fully configured upstart waits for network
  configuration up to three minutes

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Even if network is fully configured, upstart waits up to three minutes
  for network configuration. In between, some services are started
  (sshd), while others are not (autofs). This leads to situations, where
  users may login, not connected to there home, but to "/".

  In tune this may lead to unexpected security breaches.

  upstart shall have an other way detecting networking is up as it does
  now, depending on NetworkManager purely. Servers do not need
  NetworkManager: they have, in almost all cases statically assigned
  addresses!
