HA stuck on "A start job is running for Docker Application Container Engine" when Ethernet cable is connected

### Describe the issue you are experiencing

I had been using successfully Home Assistant for a number of months. Yesterday, I powered off the HA from the system menu as I wanted to change the charger on my host. **Now, when booting the HA with an Ethernet cable connected, the system hangs sometimes for couple minutes, sometimes forever on the message:**

`A start job is running for Docker Application Container Engine`

Once the ethernet cable is unplugged during boot, the system continues normally and completes startup. Afterwards, when the cable is reconnected, Home Assistant works fine.

This behaviour is 100% reproducible and happens only when the network interface is active at boot. Docker logs show multiple xtables contention detected warnings, indicating a network stack or iptables lock during initialization. Is this the root cause?

In the logs presented below, I unplugged the cable for couple seconds (after around 5 minutes from the message above).

### What operating system image do you use?

generic-x86-64 (Generic UEFI capable x86-64 systems)

### What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

6.12.43-haos

### Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System?

No

### Hardware details

MINIX N100, internal SSD, no USB devices attached, network via the ethernet cable, Realtek R8169

### Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Reboot the system (through the menu or just by the hard power off)
2. Observe that the boot process hangs on:
`A start job is running for Docker Application Container Engine`
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable - the boot immediately continues and Home Assistant loads
4. Reconnect the cable - network and HAOS operate normally after startup

### Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

Nothing relevant.
```

### Anything in the Host logs that might be useful for us?
