I can confirm this bug. It's really-really annoying and should be fixed soon.
I've found a solution... Please let me know if it's working for you. /etc/network/interfaces: add this line right after your active interface setup: pre-up sleep 5 i.e: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp pre-up sleep 5 I don't know why the devs not working on it... :-( It's sooo sad. -- auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/44874 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
