I had the same issue with either breezy or dapper... With dapper I was able to get arround it by removing my network intefaces from /etc/network/interfaces and letting Network Manager take care of configuring my network.

Does anyone else have a problem with Dapper and slow booting? It always hangs for minute or two at the "Configuring network interfaces..." -part of the boot. Now, you're probably starting to write "It's 'cause you don't get DHCP lease sooner..." No, I have configured my card to use static IP and that's why I'm not sure what the script is waiting for. After boot running /etc/init.d/networking restart is always quick... My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: <clip> # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.x.2 netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a> network 192.168.x.0 broadcast 192.168.x.255 gateway 192.168.x.254 </pilc> I'd appreciate any help about this issue. -- I was the best I ever had. -- Woody Allen -Pekka- -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </a> </blockquote></div>
