Aha. So your /etc/network/interfaces includes an 'auto' line for eth0, but your network device's name now is eth2; so the boot waits for an eth0 that will never be brought up, but in the meantime Network Manager brings up the real network on eth2.

So the fix for this is for you to delete the lines showing 'eth0' in /etc/network/interfaces.

Do you know if these lines were added by the system, or if you set them up manually at some earlier point?
