Bug Description
**** RELEASE NOTES ****
If a system has network interfaces defined in /etc/network/
*******
as far as I can understand, the 30 second sleep in failsafe.conf means that /etc/init/
I think that is really to small a number. You're only safeguarding against the case where a user had an entry in /etc/network/
The user will only be punished by waiting an additional 30 seconds in the case that they have a misconfigured or out of date /etc/network/

Agreed Scott, I think we should wait a little longer. 2 minutes seems a reasonable amount of time, especially given that this should never affect the average laptop/desktop machine.
