which means that if after all these retries, the DHCP server is still
not available (it may take dozens of minutes after a power outage),
remote unlocking the machine is impossible.
The retries should be configurable. In particular, it should at least
be possible to wait for an indefinite amount of time (without a large
delay between the retries).
