Comment 6 for bug 994862

I need to have this as I boot computers over the LAN to admin them and if one boots with this bug then I would actually have to go to the machine or ask someone at the location to reboot until the message goes away.

A temporary measure I am using to get around this problem is this

create a file in /etc/init.d that forces the network to restart on each boot so no matter what after it reaches the login screen ever after the 60 second time out I will have a working network connection with out having to manually log in and restart the network to bring up ethX.

> sudo -i
> cd /etc/init.d
> nano forcenetworkrestartonboot

----
in this file place the script

      #!/bin/bash
      /etc/init.d/networking restart
      exit
---------
> chmod a+x forcenetworkrestartonboot
> update-rc.d -f forcenetworkrestartonboot defaults

So if I get that bug after the 60 seconds the network will restart by the time it hits the login screen I believe.

to remove this from runing on start up ...
> update-rc.d -f forcenetworkrestartonboot remove

and then delete /etc/init.d/forcenetworkrestartonboot
