This issue has been fixed with upload of ifupdown 0.7.

As spotted by Zhenech the 2012.05 release runs DHCP configuration in foreground instead of running it in the background and therefore causing delays especially on systems with multiple NICs or no useable DHCP infrastructure at all. This bug is caused by ifupdown: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673658 Workaround for the time being: add the "nonetworking" boot option to disable network configuration during bootup, devices can be configured later on as usual (netcardconfig, ifconfig,...).
