Comment 3 for bug 924337

Thanks, Gary.

Note that the upstart 'fix' will basically be the same as the suggested workaround.

I think the stp on for virbr0 is actually a red herring here, for two reasons. First, you show in the Description that you are using lxcbr0, which should have stp off. Second, in my own experiments, when the console has been slow to come up, the network was actually up and i could ssh in before the console came up. So i think the current 'start on', which is 'stopped rc runlevel=2345]' is jsut bad - that is, there is something running long (maybe udev?) which keeps us getting to *stopped* rc runlevel 2.
