[SOLVED] udevd: timeout 'net.agent'

This one has been around for a couple of days now. Boot is now much slower than before. I'm on the usual Dell Inspiron 1525, running a just dist-upgraded Elektra.
Here's the relevant lines of dmesg:
Code: Select all
[ 8.820348] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Laptop Integrated Webcam (05a9:2640)
[ 8.821310] input: Laptop Integrated Webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/input/input20
[ 8.821475] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[ 8.821479] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)
[ 37.581210] udevd[328]: timeout 'net.agent'
Any ideas? I have of course looked around the web for a solution but couldn't find any useful suggestion.

Can you disable the webcam in the BIOS, also do you have any plugged in devices?

1) already checked, webcam cannot be disabled in the BIOS;
2) mouse aside, nothing else is plugged in. I already have tried to boot without the mouse plugged in.

Hi gekko!
You can make a /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf with content

Then it seems it is not (directly) related to the webcam. Can you compare with different kernels? The last line there you can ignore.

Here
https://wiki.debian.org/de/EeePC/Boot is says that you can put an "exit" at the beginning of the /lib/udev/net.agent file, so that it doesn't get executed. It also speeds up the boot, and the article says that it does not influence the boot.
No warranty, but I think it really doesn't do much than waiting for the network to settle.

I need to manually ifup wlan0 now, but I don't care. Thank you, solved.

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

^ it did! Thanks again, you're the man.
Edit: by the way, I know I'm about to replace Elektra with Haggis and you know it too, so yeah, too kind Jules. ;)

Well, after nearly a year it is OK to change Karmen to something more meaty :)
