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!
