On Guix System, wi-fi is a tough issue. Partial solutions are to either use cable instead of Wi-fi [1], to use a free Wi-fi adapter (not compatible with new Wi-fi standards), or, with obvious downsides, to use a non-free distribution of Guix or Linux (perhaps with only Guix Home instead of the full Guix System). Since this is a bug report, I wonder, do you think we can better inform users? (There already is the message you photographed, but perhaps point out to use an adapter.) Fadi Al-Arja writes: > Knowing that Guix emphasizes free software, I am wondering if there is a way to still integrate these network drivers into the system or if I may > need to develop my own driver to resolve the issue. Are there any alternative approaches or specific documentation that could help me with > this issue? Not knowing low-level, electronics development, I believe the hindrance to modern libre Wi-fi is not patents but lack of man-power for a libre-friendly supply chain.
