A similar problem for me with Ubuntu 12.04. If I have the default situation in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback there are no problems. If I enable wlan0 for wireless connection (i.e.): auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static .... the wi-fi connection has no problem, but if I reboot I Have the 'Waiting for...' message. After 2 minutes and with wired cable unplugged I can login but I have to "clean" /etc/network/interfaces to the default situation. Even if I connect the wired cable, I have no connection. The network manager icon has disappeared and I get an app crash error message. I have to reboot again and then everything works fine, no 'waiting' message, connection ready and network manager working... bye ps.
