Comment 136 for bug 272247

i've upgraded to Intrepid from Hardy and got this bug too.
What i can say:
- i don't need any specific parameter to boot, i'm just waiting about 20 seconds
- when i start my desktop, all is ok and the led on the ethernet port is on (green light), then boot process start and AT THIS TIME the led turn off (so, no more net).
- booting in verbose mode (without quiet and splash), i see that boot process hang when it try to identify eth0, but can't because ethernet port is off, ... waiting about 20 seconds, then the led move to 'orange light' and the boot process goes on.

It seems that something is wrong with the modules load order.
i've filled a bug about some of them:
