This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
Add an option to set the rc-manager parameter in NetworkManager.conf,
which controls how NetworkManager handles resolv.conf. This sets the
default rc-manager to "resolvconf", which solves #61490. It
additionally allows the user to change rc-manager without interference
from configuration activations.
Compatibility with other distributions/software and expectation
of users coming from other systems should have higher priority over consistency.
In particular this fixes#51375, where the NetworkManager-wait-online.service
broke as a result of this.
First change is to override the nm-dispatcher systemd service so that
it puts coreutils (wc/env/...) and iproute in PATH.
Second change is to make sure userscripts have the execute bit.
This allows non-privileged users to configure local DNS
entries by editing hosts files read by NetworkManager's dnsmasq
instance.
Cherry-picked from e6c3d5a507 and
5a566004a2.
Rather than special-casing the dns options in networkmanager.nix, use
the module system to let unbound and systemd-resolved contribute to
the newtorkmanager config.
Currently broken on NixOS due to hardcoded modprobe binary path (see
bug #30756 from Oct 2017), no activity on a proposed fix for months.
As the protocol is terribly broken anyways, let's better remove it
completely, and not talk about anymore ;-)
Closes#30756.
l2tp saves its secrets into /etc/ipsec.d but strongswan would not read
them. l2tp checks for /etc/ipsec.secrets includes /etc/ipsec.d and if
not tries to write into it.
Solution:
Have the strongswan module create /etc/ipsec.d and /etc/ipsec.secrets
when networkmanager_l2tp is installed.
Include /etc/ipsec.secrets in
/nix/store/hash-strongswan/etc/ipsec.secrets so that it can find l2tp
secrets.
Also when the ppp 'nopeerdns' option is used, the DNS resolver tries to
write into an alternate file /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. This fails when
/etc/ppp does not exist so the module creates it by default.
In commit ec9dc73 restarting NetworkManager after resume from
suspend/hibernate was introduced.
When I initially switch to NixOS I started noticing a high delay between
wakeup and re-connecting to WiFi & wired networks. The delay increased
from a few seconds (on my previous distro, same software stack) to
almost half a minute with NixOS.
I (locally) applied the change in this commit a few weeks ago and tested
since then. The notebook/mobile device experience has improved a lot.
Reconnects are as before switching to NixOS.
Issue #24401 could be related to this. Since I am not using KDE/plasma5
I can only guess…
Added the boolean option:
networking.networkmanager.enableStrongSwan
which enables the networkmanager_strongswan plugin and adds
strongswanNM to the dbus packages.

Fixes: #29873
* lib: introduce imap0, imap1
For historical reasons, imap starts counting at 1 and it's not
consistent with the rest of the lib.
So for now we split imap into imap0 that starts counting at zero and
imap1 that starts counting at 1. And imap is marked as deprecated.
See c71e2d4235 (commitcomment-21873221)
* replace uses of lib.imap
* lib: move imap to deprecated.nix
Set `networking.networkmanager.wifi.macAddress` or `networking.networkmanager.ethernet.macAddress`
to one of these values to change your macAddress.
* "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX": set the MAC address of the interface.
* "permanent": use the permanent MAC address of the device.
* "preserve": don’t change the MAC address of the device upon activation.
* "random": generate a randomized value upon each connect.
* "stable": generate a stable, hashed MAC address.

See #18319 for details. Starting network-online.target manually does not
work as it hangs indefinitely.
Additionally, don't treat avahi and dhcpcd special and sync their systemd units
with the respective upstream suggestion.
Systemd upstream provides targets for networking. This also includes a target network-online.target.
In this PR I remove / replace most occurrences since some of them were even wrong and could delay startup.
