Hello,
I can not connect to wi-fi during the installation of the Gnu Guix. I don't know what to do.
Could you help me?
Greetings,
Maria

Sadly many (all?) modern Wi-fi devices have no support for the
Linux-libre kernel. See
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Hardware-Considerations.html#Hardware-Considerations>.
It is lilkely that you can press Ctrl+Alt+F3 in the Guix installer and
then run “lspci” to see which device you have for networking.
Many approaches are possible. Either:
1) Get a Wi-fi device (for example, a USB Wi-fi dongle) that is
supported on Linux-libre. See <https://www.h-node.org/>.
2) Use a cable connection instead of wi-fi.
3) Use a kernel with support for your Wi-fi device. Guix does not
support such kernels.
4) Use Guix on a foreign distribution.
Regards,
Florian

You can purchase one of these devices from
