I have reported the issue at kernel.org - http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11746 .
It seems that patch is already prepared. Unfortunately, it is not incorporated into the intrepid kernel. I can confirm that the issue persist in the 2.6.27-7. ** Description changed: Kubuntu Intrepid updated daily + Asus V6J The boot process always permanently hangs on "Configuring network - interfaces" when started with kernels from 2.6.27-3,4,6 but It works + interfaces" when started with kernels from 2.6.27-3,4,6,7 but It works with my hardy kernel 2.6.24-19-generic. The system boots with 2.6.27 kernels only when the wireless card is previously disabled in BIOS. I have also achieved to boot with the iwl3945and mac80211 modules blacklisted. Than I tried to load iwl3945 using modprobe and that produced the following error trace.
