Hi Stephen,

Yeah, unfortunately we discovered this bug in the 1.1.0 image (it=E2=80=99s=
 now
fixed: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/40682>).

If it=E2=80=99s an option for you, I=E2=80=99d suggest installing over Ethe=
rnet.

What does =E2=80=98wpa_supplicant.conf=E2=80=99 contains?

This is the right forum.

Thanks for your feedback, and apologies for the bug!
