Bug#800792: linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64 hangs during boot at network

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Package: linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64
Version: 4.2.1-2
Severity: important

Dear maintainer-team,

there is a very annoying problem, I discovered with all kernels since version 
4.X.

When the system boots up and the network shall be activated, the system hangs 
for
a long time (about 2 minutes). Then the systemd-counter shows up and after the 
waiting time (about the mentioned 2 minutes), the system continous booting.

On my slower EEEPC netbook, this waiting time is longer.

I rechecked everything, and I can proove, that the latest 3.X kernel from 
debian does not show this behaviour. This behaviour appears since all kernels 
with version 4.0 and higher.

Really, this is a really annoying bug, especially, when you have often to boot 
the system (in my case, because I walk from customer to customer with my 
netbook).

I suppose, something has changed in the network device module between 3.16 and 
4.X.

It would be nice, if you could take a look at it. maybe this is easy to be 
fixed.

Thank you very much for reading this and all your help.

Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich
