Dear Clint, You are right. This is not an nm-applet issue, nm-applet not showing up was an indicator of the problem.
It is however an upstart issue that happens with a fresh install as I described in #22. I had not touched /etc/network/interfaces, its settings were generated during system install, I guess. The "waiting for network" message on bootup problem started after I removed the ethernet cable to boot with only wifi. After that even booting with ethernet cable gave the message and waiting time, though I was able to use my network connection after being logged in. This issue seems pretty similar to the bug description. The issue lasted until I decided to remove all network interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces, except the loopback interface (#23). Anyway, for me the #23 workaround works (and after a while it even shows available wifi networks). Maybe for others, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950662 Title: Waiting for network message on bootup when all network devices are up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/950662/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
