What is the issue you are actually experiencing?

It seems drivers failed to work if GX is offline.
Most likely the symlink to latest drivers is not created (rc.local timeout?)
Tested by forcing in the command line the symlink creation after reboot:
ln -s /data/drivers/dbus-mqtt-devices-0.8.0/bin/service /service/dbus-mqtt-devices

Maybe 10 attempts every minute is too much? this is 10mn...
May I suggest to either reduce the number of attempts and time between attempts or add a "&" to let the symlink be created anyway. I believe this is harmless...

If this is not installation related, what does the status payload look like that you are publishing to the driver to register your device?

Ah I see, that is a bug. Well spotted.

The setup script does a lot more than just create the symlink. It also installs the dependencies from the internet. If you don't have an internet connection it won't install. I remember thinking that retrying every 10 seconds was a bit brutal but it's such an edge case it's not worth over complicating it any more than that.

sorry I didn't mentioned in the issue detail, only in the title: I am not speaking about the set-up script, speaking about the setup-dependencies.sh, which runs at every reboot/start-up.
+I figured out it is in reality a endless loop due to a missing "t" in "atempts"...:

attempts=$((atempts + 1))

to be replaced with

attempts=$((attempts + 1))

Anyway, IMHO a 10mn time-out is far too much, something like 6 attempts every 10s is sufficient and it is already a lot.
