I wonder if this could be related to
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35550>.  Maybe my move to ever more
ancient and slow computers from ebay booted via DVD resurrected the
issue.  This is not what I hoped for at Easter.

No wpa_supplicant is running.  I run the above loops in two TTYs.
But I see no errors.

I will try make a new image with USB instead of DVD.
