On some wireless hardware I have experienced that Avahi running FC12, by default, sometimes blocks the boot, following dmesg, apparently because the wireless driver is slow on wake up. Is possible Avahi starting on a non-block mode and try later to check the connections again? The problem was on a Atheros wireless card, ath5k. Thank you, best regards. 2010/4/15 "Jóhann B.
