Commit 3b8699f9c2a9f88d44a5320398b4c968c432429d upgrades the Shepherd to
0.6.1, which fixes the PID file race condition we’ve been talking about.

Closing!

Hello,

Ricardo and sirgazil reported on IRC that the ‘wpa-supplicant’ would
(sometimes?) fail to start for the in the installation image on their
laptop.

As a result the ‘networking’ service (Connman) would not start either;
thus, the installer would report that it failed to establish Internet
access, and would just stop there.

Sirgazil posted /var/log/messages, which shows this:
