I've been experimenting with a standalone Guix installation on my Gluglug ThinkPad X60, but was facing unhelpful error messages when trying to connect to wireless networks. At least for my home network, it turns out that the 'ccm' and 'ctr' kernel modules must be loaded in order for wpa_supplicant to successfully perform its 4-way handshake. I notice that the Debian stock kernel configuration also makes these modules, and yet somehow Debian's wpa_supplicant is able to connect to my home network without those modules being loaded -- or at least lsmod doesn't show them after successfully connecting to the wireless network. Can anyone shed more light on this? Mark
