[Bug 881079] Re: FIXED: spurious "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" message at startup, but all network devices are up

[Mark - Syminet]

I'm getting exactly these symptoms after a test upgrade from vanilla Lucid -> Precise.  

Upon reboot, the iface is indeed reachable and I can ssh into it within about 10 seconds but 
on the monitor it says "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration..." error,
and hangs there for a full minute.  The /etc/network/interfaces contains all necessary info, 
worked perfectly fine in Lucid, and the interface is indeed reachable the whole time:

Bug description:
  SRU justification: any delays in running the rc-sysinit script cause a
  spurious message to appear on the plymouth boot splash saying that the
  boot is waiting for the network to become available when it really
  isn't.  This is confusing and misleading to users.

  At bootup, while displaying the Ubutu logo, it says waiting for
  network configuration. Then it says: "Waiting up to 60 more seconds
  for network configuration", but seems to be stuck until enter key is
  pressed. Out of the syslog file it seems like it tries to start the
  wireless network already at bootup, but fails since the key to the
  network is only available in my user account after logging in.
