Network Daemon Timeout

When booting my laptop the process hangs when trying to start the network daemon.  I shortly thereafter get two timeout messages, one for eth0 and one for wlan0.  If I plug the ethernet cable in the eth0 messages disappears.  What's weird is that both interfaces are working perfectly fine and are able to send and receive data.

I'm using the autowifi script to deal with my wireless settings.

/etc/rc.conf

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
INERFACES=(lo eth0 wlan0)


DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network netfs crond autowifi alsa)

Everything is working fine, but the long boot time is annoying.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks in advance
