Slow boot because no network (60s waiting time)

[Belcanto]

Hi,

I installed Mint 14 and when I boot it takes ages before I can login, this because no network is found. I can start it manually by giving the command:

sudo service network-manager start

Then I see:

service network-manager start / running , process 2562

And up comes the connection.


But....how can I make the connection to be established during boot, so that I don't have this timeout procedure all the time?

Thanks!

That is usually a default setting, network manager service is started, but your connection is under your control (user account: login name) under the GUI for network manager

I decided to comment out these lines in /etc/network/interfaces:

iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0

Now it seems to work.

Thanks for your answer!
