The system is just waiting for DHCP. Actually this happens only with the Linux 4.2 kernel (linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64 4.2.6-1). I still have a 4.1 kernel installed, and I can type the passphrase with it (reverting to this kernel is not a solution due to driver incompatibility). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
