I may have another look at the problem. I was experiencing the same "waiting for network configuration" issue after installing sendmail. I looked at my /var/log/upstart/network-interface-lo.log and network-manager.log log files and I found this. /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail: 44: .: Can't open /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail exited with return code 2 Indeed, the line 44 of the script /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail calls another script /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic that does not exists. My (bad) patch was to comment line 44 of /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail which solved the "waiting for network configuration" issue at startup. Hope it helps !

Haven't had any network trouble before the upgrade. After the upgrade, the network-manager service does not start when the computer boots up - the Kubuntu splash screen says 'waiting for network configuration', then 'waiting another 60 seconds for network configuration' (or something like that), then finally boots up without a network connection. Also the Network Management tray icon tooltip says that the network-manager service is not running. However if I then manually open the terminal and run 'sudo service network-manager start', then it starts ok and the network connects within a few seconds and everything works ok until the next reboot. I'm on a desktop PC with a wired LAN connection and no wifi adapter. network-manager version is 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu28.
