<title>Wireless Networks</title>
|
|
|
|
<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 lets you specify networks for wpa_supplicant declaratively:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
networking.wireless.networks = {
|
|
echelon = {
|
|
psk = "abcdefgh";
|
|
};
|
|
"free.wifi" = {};
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
Be aware that keys will be written to the nix store in plaintext!
|
|
|
|
When no networks are set, it will default to using a configuration file at
|
|
<literal>/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf</literal>. You should edit this file
|
|
yourself to define wireless networks, WPA keys and so on (see
|
|
wpa_supplicant.conf(5)).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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>
|
