<para>For a desktop installation using NetworkManager (e.g., GNOME),
|
|
|
|
|
you just have to make sure the user is in the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>networkmanager</code> group and you can skip the rest of this
|
|
|
|
|
section on wireless networks.</para>

NixOS will start wpa_supplicant for you if you enable this setting:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
|
|
|
networking.wireless.enable = true;
|
|
|
|
|
</programlisting>

NixOS currently does not generate wpa_supplicant's
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file, <literal>/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf</literal>. You should edit this file
|
2014-08-24 18:18:18 +01:00
|
|
|
yourself to define wireless networks, WPA keys and so on (see
|
|
|
|
|
wpa_supplicant.conf(5)).

If you are using WPA2 the <command>wpa_passphrase</command> tool might be useful
|
|
|
|
|
to generate the <literal>wpa_supplicant.conf</literal>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
|
|
|
$ wpa_passphrase ESSID PSK > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf</screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have edited the <literal>wpa_supplicant.conf</literal>,
|
|
|
|
|
you need to restart the wpa_supplicant service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
|
|
|
$ systemctl restart wpa_supplicant.service</screen>
