connected the device.

@Alfonso, right, but the details about what exactly failed is quite
important/useful information. If some certificates are deemed invalid on boot
until there is network this does not sound too bad at first. If this causes
services to not start, then this becomes more important to fix.
Also
@smb what I have seen is that devices lacking RTC battery tend to never
had a good date in the "last mount day" date of the root filesystem, as
when root is mounted the date is always near the epoch. The patch can

well, i'd rather find out why the original fixrtc did not work in the
