I may have another look at the problem.
I was experiencing the same "waiting for network configuration" issue after installing sendmail. I looked at my /var/log/upstart/network-interface-lo.log and network-manager.log log files and I found this.
       /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail: 44: .: Can't open /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic
       run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail exited with return code 2
Indeed, the line 44 of the script /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail calls another script  /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic that does not exists. 
My (bad) patch was to comment line 44 of /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail which solved the  "waiting for network configuration" issue at startup.
Hope it helps !

Title:
  network-manager service doesn't start at boot time

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in sendmail package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just completed the upgrade from Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10. Haven't had
  any network trouble before the upgrade. After the upgrade, the
  network-manager service does not start when the computer boots up -
  the Kubuntu splash screen says 'waiting for network configuration',
  then 'waiting another 60 seconds for network configuration' (or
  something like that), then finally boots up without a network
  connection. Also the Network Management tray icon tooltip says that
  the network-manager service is not running. However if I then manually
  open the terminal and run 'sudo service network-manager start', then
  it starts ok and the network connects within a few seconds and
  everything works ok until the next reboot. I'm on a desktop PC with a
  wired LAN connection and no wifi adapter. network-manager version is
  0.9.8.8-0ubuntu28.
