Bug Description

Boot hangs at /etc/init.d/networking when networking is manually configured. I have to press ctrl+alt+del to continue booting.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Codename: intrepid

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa.conf

Reason this is manually configured rather than using network-manager not only because of preference, but also I need the network up prior to login for kerberos authentication. I have reproduced this issue on several different wireless networked machines.

I should mention I do not have network-manager installed which is probably where it gets stuck. This was known to cause conflicts with manual configurations in hardy so I do not have it installed.

Looks like it has something to do with the NFS4 stuff. NFS does however work normally regardless of the errors.
