Comment 4 for bug 120483

Hacked up "/etc/init.d/{avahi-daemon, dbus} with "exit 0" at the top of both files to get them to go away and stop mucking around with the network card when it already has an IP.
Testing....Fails. New errors!

Seems to fail almost immediately after "Starting basic networking..."
Ends up with basically file not found errors and then I/O errors. Which suggests "Starting basic networking" is hosing eth0 on boot.

I can't work out which service is responsible for this message though. Must be somewhere in /etc/init.d/ :-)

Seem to be getting a tiny bit closer...
