The "Deconfiguring network interfaces...." message originates from the /etc/init.d/networking script. Given that networking is managed through wicd, I do not think that service is needed any more. I am going to disable it in my setup and do some tests. I suspect that the delay is caused by the "ifdown -a --exclude=lo" command, which would try to deconfigure all/any available network interfaces (including wifi interfaces). PS: Perhaps one reason why I haven't been seeing this issue on my other laptop is, because it is running systemd as init. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention."
