Hi! There actually were wpa-supplicant config twice. The necessary one is in the (modify-services) section. I rest only  that one. And it works. But the network is not working, cause dhcpd is not configured. I really want to get around 
"dhcpcd@.service causes slow startup" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd>

Would you give some advises how to prevent slow booting? How to set timeout on wpa-supplicant service and dhcpcd that they'll start after slim shows me auth form?

My actual manual network start is this:

# cat startnet
#!/bin/sh

#connect to wi-fi through wpa_supplicant

herd stop wpa-supplicant
rfkill unblock wifi
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
sleep 2
dhclient -v wlp2s0

May be I can use dhclient service or something like that instead of dhcpcd?

I attached my current workable config, but dhcpcd is commented there. Also I do not know how to write dhcpd.conf for my case?

Re: wpa-supplicant service configuration. Guile is hard

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2654 bytes --]

Hello! I have several questions about wpa-supplicant + dhcpcd  services.

First of all I do not want to use networkmanager and I usually get Internet working manually with this:
# cat startnet
#!/bin/sh
#connect to wi-fi through wpa_supplicant
herd stop wpa-supplicant
rfkill unblock wifi
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
sleep 2
dhclient -v wlp2s0
#./startnet

I configured services wpa-supplicant and dhcpcd in my config.scm (in attach). Guix reconfigures my system normally, start services wpa-supplicant, networking, dhcpv4-daemon. But these services do not give me Internet. `ping gnu.org` says unknow host.

The wpa_supplicant.conf is the same as I use. But dhcpcd.conf is that from one forum.
I really do not know what to write there. ip of my router is 192.168.1.1 but the other lines are from forum.
Please, let me see how configure dhcpcd if usually I used `dhclient -v wlp2s0`.
What to type there?
Also is it ok my wpa-supplicant-service-type config?
And why I have NetworkManager in my /var/log/messages, is networkmanager living in my system? How to push it out?

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

Your configuration looks … adventurous.  Here are some recommendations:

* don’t nest modify-services.  Nothing good will come of this.  It only
  serves to confuse you.  “modify-services” can modify more than one
  service at once.

* don’t leave parentheses on lines all by themselves.  They get lonely.

* don’t use dhcpd-service-type unless you want to run a DHCP server.
  Use dhcp-client-service-type for the DHCP *client*.

* you don’t need to add wpa-supplicant to the list of globally installed
  packages.  The service is enough.

* maybe try fixing the indentation (Emacs can do this with M-q) — it’s
  very hard to understand the configuration when the indentation tries
  hard to mislead you.

Hello! I've spent 3 hours reading emacs tutorial and searching for scheme mode but did not get result.
Pressing M-q on each paragraph of my config has broke it (attached file with suffix emacs).

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

I do have wpa-supplicant-service-type and dhcp-client-service-type, and they do not work, cause wlan is soft blocked. I need to use `rfkill unblock wifi` in my script, but services do not do this.
After reboot I have `herd status` as in attach, networking is inactive there. I think soft blocking happens because there are 2 wlan in my system, a strange tun0 has appeared.

Also I attach some dmesg lines if it will give some info.
Now I have network services, but they do not manage the soft blocking of wifi. How to unblock automatically?

oh, sorry, tun0 is vpn.

Re: wpa-supplicant service configuration. Guile is hard

[znavko]

Situation is this now:
1. I have wonderful configured services: wpa-supplicant and dhcp-client
2. I see the messages during boot process: 
  wpa-supplicant successfully initialized
  rfkill: WLAN soft blocked
  service networking could not be started
3. I open terminal after boot and do this:
  su -
  rfkill unblock wifi
  herd restart networking
4. And I have Internet.

Bios has no wifi blocking. Do not know why wifi comes blocked. Need to know how to unblock. Do I need own service with `rfkill unblock wifi`, and if so, how to run networking service after my own service?

Hello,
I don't believe that network manager is the default tool that guix uses... I think I use whatever is the default and it works for me...

Does the normal guix not provide you with a working Internet connection?

I really want to get around "dhcpcd@.service causes slow startup" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd)   Would you give some advises how to prevent slow booting? How to set timeout on wpa-supplicant service and dhcpcd that they'll start after slim shows me auth form?

Joshua, thanks for your attention. Yes, networkmanager is using when your config contains %desktop-services variable described here https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/desktop.scm#n1039 <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/desktop.scm#n1039>

When I do  not touch it GuixSD setup networkamanger and I can simply use it with no problems. But I do not want, cause nm is the ugliest thing I saw in Linux.

I use %desktop-services and I delete unnecessary stuff from there. And then I try to configure Internet with only wpa-supplicant and dhcpcd. But now rfkill is blocking wifi so wpa stops there. Ooh la la!

wpa-supplicant service configuration. Guile is hard

[znavko]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 290 bytes --]

Hello! I am so novice in Guile.
I have trouble trying to add wpa-supplicant configuration to my config. I get this error:

# guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
guix system: error: service 'wpa-supplicant' provided more than once
Please, let me know where to place my wpa-config lines?

Yes! I get this message on boot when I have a failed networking.service

%desktop-services includes wpa-supplicant-service-type but you also
added it yourself.  That’s why Guix tells you that it is provided more
than once.
