Since Ubuntu 11.04 this message appear at boot, if there are static networks in 
/etc/network/interfaces. 
The bug (I prefer call it "bad coding") continues in Ubuntu 12.04.

I had a static firewire network in /etc/network/interfaces:

auto firewire0
iface firewire0 inet static
   address 192.168.0.6
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.0.0
   gateway 192.168.0.1
   broadcast 192.168.0.255

To avoid 2 minutes delay, I edit /etc/init/failsafe.conf and comment the
sleeps:

    # Plymouth errors should not stop the script because we *must* reach
    # the end of this script to avoid letting the system spin forever
    # waiting on it to start.
        $PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting for network configuration..." || :
        #sleep 40

        $PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network 
configuration..." || :
        #sleep 59
        $PLYMOUTH message --text="Booting system without full network 
configuration..." || :
