Comment 5 for bug 143990

I am experiencing the same thing on a just upgraded version of Gibbon. It's causing a 30 second delay for launching any program and is bad enough I'm about to stop using Ubuntu. It is compounded by the fact that my wifi driver (Broadcom 43xx) is shaky at best.

My experience, however, is that it is not necessarily related to it being a static IP. In my case I have a wired and an unwired connection, both set to DHCP.

One thing that may or may not be related is that my network configuration continually resets itself... I'll shut off the wired connection and upon looking later it seems to have been restarted. Additionally, if there is a way to set the default network configuration via the network configurator, it's not well documented.
