Well, no. Why it has worked without hangs for almost 3 years and now
suddenly after upgrading to dapper it starts to hang. There's no way you
can make me believe that suddenly the network "just isn't yet
available". I'd believe it if I used DHCP, but with static IP it's just
not normal behaviour.

I bet that it would work with other distros without hangs :D
