I noticed that myself on a Debian/Etch system - I suppose any distro that follows their lead (uses the same udevd) might have the same symptoms; Look for: /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules which is generated at runtime, during boot, by /etc/udev/persistent-net-generator.rules If you do not intend to be changing nic's in the box in-between boots, then that rule generator only needs to run once per life-time of the machine - not once per every boot. I don't have my hands on your set-up - so I can't say what/how to make the changes to your configuration files, but that is the 'slow to initialize' ethernet nics problem area. Believe me, you do not want to plug in a usb-nic if you want a fast boot - it will eventually boot but you could swear the kernel hung while waiting.
