Same problem here. I installed 1.3-0ubuntu11 from oneiric-proposed, but nothing changed. The delay was caused by the following lines of /etc/network/interfaces:
auto dsl-provider iface dsl-provider inet ppp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf provider dsl-provider Indeed, the ppp connection relies on the wifi connection, which will be enabled *after*, by Network Mananger. I don't want to eliminate such lines. So, I have solved in this way: I removed all the "sleep" lines inside /etc/init/failsafe.conf. Now, everything works. Now, I ask you programmers: why all these "sleep"s? Why do you want to wait 2 minutes? I think, if the network is not up after few seconds, skip it, and boot up without network. Please tell me if I am wrong. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881079 Title: "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-common/+bug/881079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
