Sorry but no difference

Something has happen. After I installed net-tools and could se no difference on boot I did a reconfiguration of the wireless network again and a d-u. Then the boot halted a very long time to try to connect, but it was eth0, the wired network device which some way got activated again. After taking away configuration of eth0 in ceni it looks like my network connection is going in the background as it should do.
AND! it's possible to add wavelan plugin to panel, it crashed before.

On my hd install of 2012.1 rc1 the boot process stops and wait for the network to connect, the network connection is not in the background. This makes my computer take about the double time to boot and it is annoying.
Anyone else have that experience?

Yes. I have been noticing this for several days, and today I have learned something about it.
Background -- I have an Asus EeePC 4G/701 (don't laugh!). It has sidux 2009-01, fully updated. But the slh kernel which was made especially for this model is pinned at 2.6.32-1.
Today was time for the monthly update of the EeePC. 320 packages to be updated :roll:
When I rebooted, I saw the same DHCPDISCOVER hang that I've been seeing on my Toshiba NB205 with siduction. On the Toshiba, I used ceni to un-configure eth0. I'm going to do the same on the EeePC.
So, what I learned is:
-- it's not a siduction issue
-- it's not a kernel issue
It must be something in Sid's recent networking developments.

dibl,
do you have net-tools installed. It might have gotten removed during the netbase update.
