[SOLVED] Waiting for Network configuration

[Gandi]

Hi,

I downloaded and installed yesterday the Linux mint maya 32 bit on my IBM T42 Laptop. Everthing works fin. I set up my Ethernet with dhcp and gat Internet connection. I set up my wireless with the key and so on and it works also fin.
After that i installed all new fixes in the update manager. After the next reboot during the boot the system displayed two messages.

"waiting for network configuration" for a while then it says
"waiting an additional 60 seconds for network configuration"

after this the linux came up and the Network icon on the right corner shows "network disabled".
No edit connections is possible and my Wireless settings are also gone. No Internet connetion is possible.
After the restart of the NetworkManager the Internet connection is running but it still shows Network disabled and Wireless lan settings are also not possible.

Do you have any tip or do you need more information for this problem.

Current level is Linux mint maya mintUpdate 4.4.2

Thanks RGDS Enny

Edit /etc/init/failsafe.conf file, adding # to every sleep, so sleeps do not work.

Hi,
many thanks for the fast reply and delivery of this work around.
I add a # in the /etc/init/failsafe.conf file in front of all sleeps and so it would be boot fast. And the Network is working too.

Thank a lot.
