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.
