[SOLVED?] slow X start without USB network

Hey there!

Ok, one of the issues of last night is solved (I think):

PROBLEM - when Loox is not connected via USB to desktop pc with proper setup
of ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.1 starting X was considerably slower.

SOLUTION(?) -

        * in /etc/network/interfaces comment the following line for interface usb0:

                                                gateway 192.168.0.1

                thus:

                                        iface usb0 inet static
                                                address 192.168.0.2
                                                netmask 255.255.255.0
                                                network 192.168.0.0
                                                broadcast 192.168.0.255
                                        # gateway 192.168.0.1

X is a network aware program. Thus having a "broken" default gateway causes
lookup slow downs

(same with typing "route" as it searches nearly forever and gives up some day)

More to come, I will update the web page
