I have the problem someone pointed in the forum. But I see everyone have this problem with VM machines. In my case is with bare metal:
When I start the machine I see cloud-init-nonet waiting for network.
--------------------------------
cloud-init-nonet[164.54]: gave up waiting for a network device.
Cloud-init v. 0.7.5 running 'init' at Sat, 11 Oct 2014 22:23:38 +0000. Up 164.77 seconds.

Is almost the same thing as seen here:
https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/28297/cloud-init-nonet-waiting-and-fails/
I also tried to explain in this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1345433
As I told in the bug it seems to me that openvswitch is not started in order. But I don't know. Maybe it's just my network config that's relaying on openvswitch db.
My config is rather simple /etc/network/interfaces:
### This does nothing, but left here for future reference. It should work. It's supposed to be openvswitch support on startup
allow-ovs br-ext
iface br-ext inet manual
ovs_type OVSBridge
ovs_ports eth0
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
up ip link set $IFACE promisc on
down ip link set $IFACE promisc off
down ifconfig $IFACE down
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
down ifconfig $IFACE down
#This also does nothing as br-int is not created when this script is executed
auto br-int
iface br-int inet dhcp
Any help on how to solve this? This really messes my startup so much that I'm thinking about removing MAAS and reinstall without the cloud-init stuff.

This works for me:
/etc/rc.local
file to include the linesh /etc/init.d/networking restart
just beforeexit 0
