To facilitate network configuration, some desktop environments use
|
|
NetworkManager. You can enable NetworkManager by setting:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-networking.networkmanager.enable"/> = true;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
some desktop managers (e.g., GNOME) enable NetworkManager automatically for
|
|
you.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
All users that should have permission to change network settings must belong
|
|
to the <code>networkmanager</code> group:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<link linkend="opt-users.users._name__.extraGroups">users.users.alice.extraGroups</link> = [ "networkmanager" ];
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
NetworkManager is controlled using either <command>nmcli</command> or
|
|
<command>nmtui</command> (curses-based terminal user interface). See their
|
|
manual pages for details on their usage. Some desktop environments (GNOME,
|
|
KDE) have their own configuration tools for NetworkManager. On XFCE, there is
|
|
no configuration tool for NetworkManager by default: by enabling <xref linkend="opt-programs.nm-applet.enable"/>, the
|
|
graphical applet will be installed and will launch automatically when the graphical session is started.
|
|
</para>
|

|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<code>networking.networkmanager</code> and <code>networking.wireless</code>
|
|
(WPA Supplicant) can be used together if desired. To do this you need to instruct
|
|
NetworkManager to ignore those interfaces like:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-networking.networkmanager.unmanaged"/> = [
|
|
"*" "except:type:wwan" "except:type:gsm"
|
|
];
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
Refer to the option description for the exact syntax and references to external documentation.
