I, too am having this issue and wanted to add my data. I'm running a Thinkpad T60p with an Intel Core 2 T5600. The wireless card is a "Intel 802.11abg Mini PCI Express wireless adapter" but I don't know how to find the exact model.
I have a ~28 second delay with the wireless hardware switch on, and that delay is gone with the switch off. I have included the output of bootchart with both the switch off. You can see the process "udev" is hanging. Also, when I start up I also get "udev: renamed network interface wmaster0 to eth1" and then once I am booted ifconfig shows the name as "wlan0_rename". Finally, when I shutdown, instead of seeing the graphical splash screen, I see text. It pauses for about 30 seconds, then displays "NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_signal_handler(): Caught signal 15, shutting down normally. NetworkManager: <info> Caught Termination signal NetworkManager: <debug> [1206913931.769927] nm_print_open_socks(): Open Sockets List:" and it ends there. Is this related or a separate issue? Seems too similar (a 30 sec pause, network related) to not mention. ** Attachment added: "hardy-20080330-1.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12983505/hardy-20080330-1.png -- [Hardy] Intel 3945ABG Long boot delays while "Loading hardware drivers" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192845 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
