Why do you do this all manually instead of using
wpa-supplicant-service-type and dhcp-client-service-type?

Your configuration looks =E2=80=A6 adventurous.  Here are some recommendati=
ons:

* don=E2=80=99t nest modify-services.  Nothing good will come of this.  It =
only
  serves to confuse you.  =E2=80=9Cmodify-services=E2=80=9D can modify more=
 than one
  service at once.

* don=E2=80=99t leave parentheses on lines all by themselves.  They get lon=
ely.

* don=E2=80=99t use dhcpd-service-type unless you want to run a DHCP server.
  Use dhcp-client-service-type for the DHCP *client*.

* you don=E2=80=99t need to add wpa-supplicant to the list of globally inst=
alled
  packages.  The service is enough.

* maybe try fixing the indentation (Emacs can do this with M-q) =E2=80=94 i=
t=E2=80=99s
  very hard to understand the configuration when the indentation tries
  hard to mislead you.
