Public bug reported:
/etc/init/failsafe.conf gets stuck waiting for the static interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces to come up as one of them is a hotplug device.
I have a BeagleBone which shows up as a USB Ethernet gadget and a rule
in interfaces to set the IP addresses when it's plugged in. The rule
is:
auto usb9
iface usb9 inet static
address 192.168.7.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
up iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.7.0/24
down echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
down iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
upstart waits for ths interface to be configured but as the device isn't
there it never gets configured. Eventually failsafe kicks in but it
adds 2 minutes to the boot.
