Without this, you can change the list of appended or prepended nameservers in
your NetworkManager config, and nixos-rebuild doesn't cause those changes to
come into effect.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Incorrect merging of modules resulted in dhcpcd being enabled causing flaky network connection.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/64364
Fixing it uncovered an infinite recursion from the same commit, previously masked by the incorrect merge.
We can just drop the `mkDefault` for `networking.wireless.enable` as it is already `false` by default.
Closes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/72416
This option was removed because allowing (multiple) regular users to
override host entries affecting the whole system opens up a huge attack
vector. There seem to be very rare cases where this might be useful.
Consider setting system-wide host entries using networking.hosts,
provide them via the DNS server in your network, or use
networking.networkmanager.appendNameservers to point your system to
another (local) nameserver to set those entries.
Otherwise connecting simply fails:
VPN connection: failed to connect: 'La création du fichier « /tmp/lib/NetworkManager-fortisslvpn/0507e3ef-f0e0-4153-af64-b3d9a025877c.config.XSB19Z » a échoué : No such file or directory'
This introduces an option wifi.backend to the networkmanager module.

These are the leftovers of an older PR.
a. Send messages to auditd if auditing is enabled.
b. Add missing dbus configuration if dnsmasq is used for DNS
Fixes problems such as:
systemd[1]: Failed to put bus name to hashmap: File exists
systemd[1]: dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service: Two services allocated for the same bus name org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher, refusing operation.
Problem is that systemd treats symlinks to files outside the service
path differently, causing our old workaround to look like two separate services.
These symlinks are intended to be a means for manually emulating
the behavior of the `Alias=` directive in these services.
Unfortunately even making these symlinks relative isn't enough,
since they don't make it to where it matters--
that only makes the links in /etc/static/systemd/system/*
relative, with systemd still being shown non-relative links
in /etc/systemd/system/*.
To fix this, drop all of this at the package level
and instead simply specify the aliases in the NixOS modules.
Also handle the same for modemmanager,
since the networkmanager NixOS module also handles that.

When NetworkManager is configured to not manage all interfaces, it's
perfectly fine to have the rest be managed by the standard nixos
wireless scripts.
I use
networking.networkmanager.unmanaged = [
"*" "except:type:wwan" "except:type:gsm"
];
to control everything using networking.wireless except for the mobile
LTE modem which only works with NetworkManager.
This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
Add an option to set the rc-manager parameter in NetworkManager.conf,
which controls how NetworkManager handles resolv.conf. This sets the
default rc-manager to "resolvconf", which solves #61490. It
additionally allows the user to change rc-manager without interference
from configuration activations.
Compatibility with other distributions/software and expectation
of users coming from other systems should have higher priority over consistency.
In particular this fixes#51375, where the NetworkManager-wait-online.service
broke as a result of this.
First change is to override the nm-dispatcher systemd service so that
it puts coreutils (wc/env/...) and iproute in PATH.
Second change is to make sure userscripts have the execute bit.
This allows non-privileged users to configure local DNS
entries by editing hosts files read by NetworkManager's dnsmasq
instance.
Cherry-picked from e6c3d5a507909c4e0c0a5013040684cce89c35ce and
5a566004a2b12c3d91bf0acdb704f1b40770c28f.
Rather than special-casing the dns options in networkmanager.nix, use
the module system to let unbound and systemd-resolved contribute to
the newtorkmanager config.
Currently broken on NixOS due to hardcoded modprobe binary path (see
bug #30756 from Oct 2017), no activity on a proposed fix for months.
As the protocol is terribly broken anyways, let's better remove it
completely, and not talk about anymore ;-)
Closes#30756.
l2tp saves its secrets into /etc/ipsec.d but strongswan would not read
them. l2tp checks for /etc/ipsec.secrets includes /etc/ipsec.d and if
not tries to write into it.
Solution:
Have the strongswan module create /etc/ipsec.d and /etc/ipsec.secrets
when networkmanager_l2tp is installed.
Include /etc/ipsec.secrets in
/nix/store/hash-strongswan/etc/ipsec.secrets so that it can find l2tp
secrets.
Also when the ppp 'nopeerdns' option is used, the DNS resolver tries to
write into an alternate file /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. This fails when
/etc/ppp does not exist so the module creates it by default.
In commit ec9dc73 restarting NetworkManager after resume from
suspend/hibernate was introduced.
When I initially switch to NixOS I started noticing a high delay between
wakeup and re-connecting to WiFi & wired networks. The delay increased
from a few seconds (on my previous distro, same software stack) to
almost half a minute with NixOS.
I (locally) applied the change in this commit a few weeks ago and tested
since then. The notebook/mobile device experience has improved a lot.
Reconnects are as before switching to NixOS.
Issue #24401 could be related to this. Since I am not using KDE/plasma5
I can only guess…
Added the boolean option:
networking.networkmanager.enableStrongSwan
which enables the networkmanager_strongswan plugin and adds
strongswanNM to the dbus packages.
This was contributed by @wucke13, @eqyiel and @globin.
Fixes: #29873
* lib: introduce imap0, imap1
For historical reasons, imap starts counting at 1 and it's not
consistent with the rest of the lib.
So for now we split imap into imap0 that starts counting at zero and
imap1 that starts counting at 1. And imap is marked as deprecated.
See c71e2d4235 (commitcomment-21873221)
* replace uses of lib.imap
* lib: move imap to deprecated.nix
Set `networking.networkmanager.wifi.macAddress` or `networking.networkmanager.ethernet.macAddress`
to one of these values to change your macAddress.
* "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX": set the MAC address of the interface.
* "permanent": use the permanent MAC address of the device.
* "preserve": don’t change the MAC address of the device upon activation.
* "random": generate a randomized value upon each connect.
* "stable": generate a stable, hashed MAC address.
See https://blogs.gnome.org/thaller/2016/08/26/mac-address-spoofing-in-networkmanager-1-4-0/ for more information
See #18319 for details. Starting network-online.target manually does not
work as it hangs indefinitely.
Additionally, don't treat avahi and dhcpcd special and sync their systemd units
with the respective upstream suggestion.
Systemd upstream provides targets for networking. This also includes a target network-online.target.
In this PR I remove / replace most occurrences since some of them were even wrong and could delay startup.
This reverts commit c25907d072.
I think this commit broke the NixOS service for NetworkManager. At least
with this, and the two previous reverts, everything is back to normal.
(With multiple-outputs split, it would have reduced the closure size by
3 MiB.)
This reverts commit 7ac1ef05fa.
One of a few reverts needed to unbreak networkmanager NixOS service
since the multiple-output split (to save 3 MiB of closure size).
This reverts commit 2875293615.
One of a few reverts needed to unbreak networkmanager NixOS service
since the multiple-output split (to save 3 MiB of closure size).
NetworkManager needs an additional avahi-user to use link-local
IPv4 (and probably IPv6) addresses. avahi-autoipd also needs to be
patched to the right path.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
