Due to a driver bug in 2.6.30 (bug 546041), I've noticed the same
problem. Reconfiguring exim4 to use dc_minimaldns='true' makes it
disappear. However I think that either exim4 should be changed so
that it doesn't block the boot or the dc_minimaldns option should
be split into two options: one for the boot and another one after
the boot (because just after logging in, I can select the wifi
connection).
