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:

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