Comment 11 for bug 886414

Steve, what do you mean invalid? What do you mean with unreliable boot sequence?

I have a laptop. I take it onto a business trip. I want to work on the airplane. There is no internet connection within miles. That (K)Ubuntu wants to wait for several minutes until it accepts the fact that there is no internet is a bug.

I could understand if I have plugged in a cable and have an ethernet link (green blinkenlight), but not yet a dhcp configured ip address. Then it makes sense to wait for a while. But if there is no cable plugged and no wifi configured+found, what are you waiting for? A miracle?
