From acce0a474c1493ab18912bc46285248e4ccb0314 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marius Bakke Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 01:04:10 +0200 Subject: services: wpa-supplicant: Extend to support configuration parameters. This allows using WPA Supplicant "standalone" without an additional network manager. The default configuration is unchanged. * gnu/services/networking.scm (): New record type. (wpa-supplicant-shepherd-service): Pass configuration records to the daemon. (wpa-supplicant-service-type): Adjust accordingly. * doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Document the new service type. --- doc/guix.texi | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/guix.texi') diff --git a/doc/guix.texi b/doc/guix.texi index 5ae80917a9..2cea52f02b 100644 --- a/doc/guix.texi +++ b/doc/guix.texi @@ -11737,18 +11737,35 @@ When true, enable connman's vpn plugin. @defvr {Scheme Variable} wpa-supplicant-service-type This is the service type to run @url{https://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/,WPA supplicant}, an authentication daemon required to authenticate against -encrypted WiFi or ethernet networks.
