Using the livecd (which I installed with), I used wpa_supplicant+dhclient (as per https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Preparing-for-Installation.html) and that worked without issue, but the same method didn't work on my actual install. (it seems to try to use IPv6?) I ultimately want to use NetworkManager, but I just wanted to get some sort of connection working to start with. I have included in my `config.scm` the "%desktop-services" bit, so I thought this should provide NetworkManager, but I don't seem able to use it (I'm not sure how to configure it in guixsd, and I also find no applet.) This is the config.scm I've ended up with: ;; This is an operating system configuration template ;; for a "desktop" setup with GNOME and Xfce where the ;; root partition is encrypted with LUKS. (use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss) (gnu packages lisp) (gnu packages wm)) (use-service-modules desktop) (use-package-modules certs gnome wm) (operating-system (host-name "guixy") (timezone "US/Mountain") (locale "en_GB.utf8") ;; Use the UEFI variant of GRUB with the EFI System ;; Partition mounted on /boot/efi. ;; -> actually using BIOS because guixsd 0.15 live usb didn't probe efi ; (bootloader (grub-configuration (device "/dev/sda"))) (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sda"))) ;; Specify a mapped device for the encrypted root partition. ;; The UUID is that returned by 'cryptsetup luksUUID'. (mapped-devices (list (mapped-device (source (uuid "79c67b23-d4ac-4be9-a617-9d83beed9694")) (target "guiksdelux") (type luks-device-mapping)) )) (file-systems (cons* (file-system (device "/dev/mapper/guiksdelux") (mount-point "/") (type "ext4") (dependencies mapped-devices)) %base-file-systems)) (users (cons (user-account (name "emacsomancer") (comment "E.
