Ah yes, that would be consistent with the fact that booting is somewhat 
(50s) quicker with a USB connection - because that creates another 
interface and IP address.

It's there already: gta04

Also looks already OK:
127.0.0.1 localhost gta04

I don't know what to do here; can you be more precise?  Currently I 
have:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
         pre-up depmod
         pre-up modprobe g_ether
     address 192.168.0.202
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     network 192.168.0.0
     gateway 192.168.0.200
         post-down rmmod g_ether
     up echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 >/etc/resolv.conf

I've done that.

But no improvement yet.  I just booted again without USB connected, 
and:

...
[   31.754577] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast
[   31.938720] Bluetooth: SCO (Voice Link) ver 0.6
[   31.948089] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[  137.657379] OMAPFB: pan_display(0)
[  137.657409] OMAPFB: setcmap
[  137.657409] OMAPFB: setcmap
...

By the way, I guess this is of interest more for the sake of 
understanding than because it's practically important...  I'm sure I 
could live with a 2 minute boot :-)
