I have a firewire netowork cable whit fixed IP in /etc/network/interfaces, and have the same problem.
I do a workaround with this tip:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/185515/disable-network-configuration-
services-during-boot-time

A better ideea than disabling the service is to remove the sleep time.
To do this, open /etc/init/failsafe.conf with your favourite editor, and
around line 25 you should see the following lines of code:

# 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…” || :

To solve your problem, just comment the sleep times (add '#' in front of
the text). It should look like this:

# 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…” || :

Title:
  No way to skip "waiting up to 60 more seconds for network
  configuration"

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is in 12.04

  Since configuring my interface in /etc/network/interfaces I've had my
  PC hang for a minuite and a lot on each boot, first waiting for
  network configuration, and then waiting a futher 60 seconds for it.

  This bug report is _not_ about the presence of the message or its
  cause, but about the fact that there is no apparent way to skip it.
  I'd like to be able to just carry on the boot with no network
  configuration so I can fix it.
