Up I have the same problem too, does anyone know if it is possible to fix it? It's really too bad because all is very good in this OS (even wlan connection!!)

I've no idea but you could try this hack to see if anything breaks if you background it:
Append an ampersand to line 76 of /etc/init.d/network, where the loopback is called.
If something breaks, try adding 'sleep 10' as well.

It depends if X or and other program actually needs the loopback interface by the time you notice.

YMMV considerably!

Hi seawolf!
You were right. The problem came from the /etc/init.d/network.sh.
It wasn't in the line 76 (maybe not the same file??) But it was when the internet connection was made. First of all, the system tried to connect via eth0 and that failed for me 'cause I use wlan0. As a consequence, I just comment the lines whicn enables eth0 to switch directly to wlan0 and it fixed it. The boot sequence takes less than 20 seconds. Exactly what I expected.

For those who might have the same problem I comment the lines belows:
in the boot function
#sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up

In the start() function
# eth()

Hope that helps and Thx

Great!
Is there anything amiss in the Network configuration in the Control Box? I'm thinking you can switch eth0 for wlan0 so it won't attempt to start it...
Ah well, if it works!

Thanks to Cracker & Seawolf I'll try that.

Ale.
