Comment 3 for bug 1728181

I'm not using cloud-init. My network devices are not managed because I disabled NetworkManager.service shortly after installing 17.10 on bare metal Nov 5, 2017 9:44 AM EDT. I think there were too many fires then and I didn't want to try to convince NetworkManager to use a bridge. I just lived with the two minute delay while working on the four minute delay LP 1731566
and the "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)" LP 1730374 until work on that last issue lead to the two minute delay clearing up as a side-effect.
