Hi, perhaps check /etc/network/interfaces. The system waits for those
network interfaces to be up before moving on to the rest of the boot.
If this is a mobile system, you'll be better served by configuring the
interfaces using NetworkManager. If you don't want to use NetworkManager,
you can lower the timeout in /etc/init/failsafe.conf, but this may mean
that services designed to be started after networking is up will not
work properly.
