Thank you, Efraimm Flashner, thank you very much!!
This Wi-Fi USB adapter works on OS Guix!
"WTXUP for Atheros AR9271 150Mbps 802.11n Wireless WiFi USB Adapter Wi Fi Dongle internal Antenna Soft AP for Windows7/8/10/Linux"
I have bought this one too. And Guix works with it this way:
====step 1. get info about new hardware========

then I can add this configuration in my Guix config and reconfigure system.
I can change the value of 'interface' to wlp0s29u1u2 insted of wlp2s0 as it is now in 'wpa-supplicant-service-type' in 'operating system' in my config.scm
# cat /etc/config.scm
