&gt;<i> &gt; No you misunderstood, if the system succeed to launch

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; The firest time it happend I really thought my system was broken.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> So what if you cannot enter your password and want to rescue the system?
</I>&gt;<i> Should it still wait forever until you enter your passphrase? Or would
</I>&gt;<i> you have to deliberately enter your passphrase wrong X number of times

</I>
Why would I be unable to enter my password ? Because I am too drunk ?
Then better to not be able to start the system. Because I forgot it ?
Well then I can reinstall, my data are lost.

Even in rescue mode, I must be able to enter my passphrase, it's a
unrelated issue.

I may point there is a failsafe menu in grub.

&gt;<i> &gt; I don't have nfs in my fstab but maybe this is triggered by another
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; service.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; But I don't see the point of waiting the card to be on, especially when
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; the card is on it don't connect to any network and don't wait this
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; happend.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Hmm in that case it sounds like a different issue than the deliberate
</I>&gt;<i> stuff that waits for the network to be ready.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Do you know which bit of the system is waiting for this? Is it
</I>&gt;<i> network-up.service or something else? (I doubt it can be network-up as
</I>&gt;<i> this shouldn't delay logins unless the afore mentioned NFS mounts are
</I>&gt;<i> present)
</I>
I will investigate, it seems this moring it fetched an ip, but it is not
always the case and the question is what happend when there is no
wireless network reachable.
