network startup is very slow

I would like to confirm this bug....
The beta kubuntu cd used 3 seconds ....

I don't know what suddenly happend (probably a sudo apt-get update .... sudo apt-get upgrade) but now
* configuring network interfaces

hangs for about 50 seconds.

It seems not to have anything to do with something wireless....
This machine only has the motherboards LAN ...

Should have written that my system is a Feisty Fawn (7.04) ...

If any further information is needed please tell ...
-
I think it is a coincidence - but I guess/think Søren Holm (also) is danish ...
I can however not see how geography should imply on this .....

As mentioned in my first comment. The feisty fawn beta cd does it fast ....

I realized I also had this problem on my laptop with edgy.
In both cases I could fix my problem by changing /etc/network/interfaces :

My home computer now only has got
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

while my laptop only has
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I can connect to the internet with both of them (kubuntu)
Before they both had "way to much" in /etc/network/interfaces. My home-computer had:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
