computer boots slowly

[ill]

On xubuntu 12.04 x64, when booting up or restarting, at some point the computer pauses while on the screen a message says waiting for network configuration, then after a minute of it doing nothing, it says waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration. During this time, it is doing nothing.

This could be a bug in upstart.

Could you attach your /etc/network/interfaces file and and interfaces.d files? (This is assuming you aren't using network manager.)
