Title:
  Trusty daily live ISOs will not boot; "Waiting for network
  configuration"

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am trying to boot Xubuntu and Lubuntu 14.04 live desktop i386 on an
  old Acer laptop with Celeron 2.66GHz CPU, 512MB ram (I know, it is low
  on ram) and a Radeon Mobility 9100 igp.

  The system simply freezes at the Plymouth screen with Xubuntu/Lubuntu
  and coloured dots showing and eventually an error "Waiting for network
  configuration" appears and the system will go no further no matter how
  long I wait.

  I have tried with and without a cable network connection to the
  Realtek RTL 8139 ethernet card, but can not try wireless as I need to
  use ndiswrapper for the only adapter I have, a Netgear WG511v2 using
  Marvell chips, showing as  88w8335 {libertas} in lshw output.

  All previous versions of Xubuntu and Lubuntu up to and includiong
  13.10 boot fine on this machine in spite of its low spec.

  I have asked for help at Ubuntuforums
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2200517&p=12907617#post12907617
  and it was suggested there that I file this as a bug.
