[Bug 1261765] [NEW] "Waiting for network configuration" is a woefully inadequate message

[Ben Gamari]

Public bug reported:

I have a rather long /etc/network/interfaces configuration and since
12.04 have been seeing the message "Waiting for network configuration"
on every boot. This bug is not about me, however. It is about the
message itself and its infuriatingly complete lack of any debuggable
content. It does not provide the user with the interface being waiting
for, the daemon doing the waiting, nor even a rough idea of how one
might begin investigating the issue. This is the definition of poor user
experience.
