Cool and thanks! Fixed me lappie, same issue with /run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0 on boot delay!
Used the latter and #comment out allow-hotplug!
Info: that was with a fresh install CROWZ Ob ASCII to BEOWULF upgrade, going from wired to wifi, ran into that issue!

]]>My solution was to set the primary interface to "manual" instead of "dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces. Boots like lightning.
This allows Wicd to wrangle networking after booting ..
I plan on trying this myself. Some of my laptops have the regular dhcp client delay upon boot, and if I can just let wicd handle it later on, that is acceptable.

The fix seems to be to not have /etc/network/interfaces do anything, except for lo, the file contents should be:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
This will get rid of the boot delay and allow you network manager (wicd, network-manager, whatever) to control the network connection. If you do not use a network manager, then you probably just need to do an ifconfig wlan0 up prior to your other manual connection commands.
My problem with this was with ethernet, hopefully the resolution for your wireless is the same, as posted.
The MTA delay probably has to do with exim4 now being installed by default. You may want a mail transport agent, I personally find it not needed on my system. You can purge exim4 and all associates if you do not want the mail transport, this will get rid of that delay.
After I deleted lines in /etc/network/interfaces about 'wlan0', it seems delays caused by both network interface and MTA are gone.
thanks!

Probably not. I'll post it here, you dont have to hide behind your cute little acronym.
]]>Go around often mis-quoting people?
I have a habit of only quoting the relevant sections so as to keep the reply short and the lo exception is irrelevant in respect of the objection I raised.
NM works fine here, cant recall experiencing bugs.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and the OP's problem is about boot delays caused by ifupdown so switching to NM does not solve that particular problem in any way, it just conceals it.
If you would exercise a little civility in your responses, useless posts like this one would not be needed.

NetworkManager is a bloated, buggy pile of crap and it should be possible to use ifupdown in Devuan.
Good for you and your il-informed personal opinion. NM works fine here, cant recall experiencing bugs.

That's not a fix, it's a workaround. NetworkManager is a bloated, buggy pile of crap and it should be possible to use ifupdown in Devuan.
The linked thread shows that allow-hotplug seemed to be causing the problem so the OP can try removing that line.
FWIW, I experience a 5 second delay with ifupdown in my Debian buster system compared to my usual custom unit file for systemd.

it always stuck at two places by looking at onscreen boot log:
1. configuration network interfaces..ifup: wait for lock on /run/network/ifstate.wlan0
2. starting MTA
Can we please see the content of /etc/network/interfaces and the output of ip link, thanks!
