I'm trying to install Guix.
"ifconfig" doesn't detect my wlp5s0 device.
I tried connecting to a modem via Ethernet, it detects the modem but I cannot connect to the internet:
"2 DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."
Also the "ping -c 3 gnu.org" test still gives "host not found"
I have been trying all day, I am very thankful for anyone who can provide some information.

Your wifi-card may need a proprietary driver which GuixSD doesn't
include (because Guix only has official packages for free/libre software
because Guix doesn't want to encourage you to use restrictive, perhaps
harmful, proprietary software). (That's why I personally use a
wifi-dongle based on the chipset AR9271 which can be used with the
free ath9k_htc driver.)

Which command leads to this error? Is it something like `dhclient -v
INTERFACE`? I never heard of this error before. I guess we need more
information to help you here. Maybe you could also tell us the details
of your ethernet controller?

On this topic, Muto, please take a look at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Hardware-Considerations.html>.
Can you send us the output of the ‘lspci’ command?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
