Testing takes ages to boot because of networking.service

[haxi]

Hi there.

I installed a fresh debian testing on my new Thinkpad T430. Everything is up2date.
It's installed on a dualboot SSD. Windows takes 20s to boot, but debian testing takes approx 2mins.

I've been searching around the internets for a week now, and I found the problem but I can't find any fix...

Seems like networking.service takes ages to init:

Code: Select all

root@home:/home/leo# systemd-analyze blame
    1min 21.360s networking.service
         10.244s exim4.service
           363ms user@1000.service
           341ms systemd-fsck@dev-disk-by\x2duuid-cc02b2b8\x2dbffa\x2d4c47\x2db7ff\x2dbcbce6fa2a9c.service
           304ms wicd.service
           256ms kbd.service
           170ms NetworkManager.service
           166ms ModemManager.service
           127ms systemd-fsck-root.service
           110ms bluetooth.service
           104ms systemd-logind.service
           103ms avahi-daemon.service

It's funny because I'm also experiencing wifi connection issues.
I can hardly connect my university's wifi (no matter secured network or not) using wicd... But I can easily connect to my home's secured wifi.
I found a WTF workaround for connecting @ uni: I enable portable hotspot on my phone, I connect my computer to it (it works), then disconnect it and try to connect to uni's wifi, it often fix the problem... Seems legit huh ?

When I look up the wicd log, there are no errors shown, only a lot of "DHCPDISCOVERS" and a final "No DHCPOFFERS".
I tried connecting the manual way (using /etc/network/interfaces and ifup) to those wifi networks, same strange things happen.

Wireless card :

Code: Select all

03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)

Here's my /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/9jaFksLH

my /etc/network/interfaces :

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

Do anyone has an idea ?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know. I've seen similar on wired ethernet connections. It doesn't take nearly as long on wired, but certainly longer than it should.

It's systemd, so the fix is probably to sacrifice a goat to Lennart Poettering.

Sorry I can't help. I'm in the process of replacing Debian with Gentoo to make it easier to avoid this crapware.
