I wish that message disappeared. Please help. You have an interface configured to use WPA and DHCP. This *WILL* take a few seconds. First, your adapter needs to find the Access Point, establish a connection and authenticate using the pre-shared key. Only once that link is established, can the DHCP sequence begin. This involves broadcasting a request packet and then listening for several seconds (this is repeated at varying intervals). Once an acceptable acknowledgement packet is received, then hook scripts are run to set IP, DNS, NTP etc. Only once they are done, can the interface be considered "ready". You MIGHT be able to hide the message for a little bit by setting the interface from "auto wlx..." to "allow-hotplug wlx...". I believe this will lower the priority of the interface such that it is not critical to the booting of the system. "auto" tells the system that it must bring up the interface (and any services that depend on networking will thus wait for that to happen), whereas "allow-hotplug" says that the system MAY bring up the interface when it appears (however, services that depend on networking may or may not have an issue with only 'lo' being up). > > Thanks, > > Rodolfo > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
