Breezy boot up and network interfaces

[matt nicholson]

personally, i just go into /etc/networking/interfaces and reomve the 
"auto" lines from my eth0 (which is never plugged in) and wlan0 (which 
is never assosiated with the AP at that point). then i user some user 
space util like, up untill a few days ago gtkwifi, and now 
network-manager to connect once gnome is up and running.

if you goign to do this, disable the NTP sync at boot too, cause that 
will just sit there/die at every boot.
