Hi,
I worked around this by changing /etc/network/interfaces to:

______________________________________________________________
iface eth0 inet manual
        pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up
        up /sbin/dhclient -nw -4 -v -i -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases -I -df /var/lib/dhclient6.eth0.leases eth0
        pre-down /sbin/dhclient -r -4 -v -i -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases -I -df /var/lib/dhclient6.eth0.leases eth0
        down /sbin/ip link set eth0 down
______________________________________________________________

and installing ifplugd and setting /etc/default/ifplugd to:

______________________________________________________________
INTERFACES="eth0"
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES=""
ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I"
SUSPEND_ACTION="stop"
______________________________________________________________

This way boot is fast and the network is setup in the background 
as soon as ifplugd detects the link beat.
Don't know how this will interact with wicd.

Ciao,
Tito

Hi,

Section 5.2.1 of Debian Handbook suggests that wicd might conflict with 
ifup, and hence advise to keep the file /etc/network/interfaces as 
simple as possible, such as

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

or disable wicd and let ifup do the work. Perhaps the default 
/etc/network/interfaces should be changed?

-- My /etc/network/interfaces:
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet6 auto

Dear Maintainer,

Booting process hangs on what seems to be the initialisation of network:
it remains on

Configuring network interfaces...ifup: waiting for lock on 
/run/network/ifstate.eth0

for a long time (I hence usually skip this phase with C-c). When logging
into the desktop, internet is available (through eth0).

The setup is very close to the default one (wicd is used).
