Thus
networking.interfaces = [ { name = "eth0"; ipAddress = "192.168.15.1"; } ];
can now be written as
networking.interfaces.eth0.ipAddress = "192.168.15.1";
The old notation still works though.
Flushing is bad if the Nix store is on a remote filesystem accessed
over that interface.

Also added a interface option ‘prefixLength’ as a better alternative
to ‘subnetMask’.
Instead it's enough to depend on
sys-subsystem-net-devices-<interface>.device, which in turn has a
"wants" dependency on the service (if any) that creates the interface.
For each statically configured interface, we now create a unit
‘<interface>-cfg.service’ which gets started as soon as the network
device comes up. Similarly, each bridge defined in
‘networking.bridges’ and virtual interface in ‘networking.interfaces’
is created by a service ‘<interface>.service’.
So if we have
networking.bridges.br0.interfaces = [ "eth0" "eth1" ];
networking.interfaces =
[ { name = "br0";
ipAddress = "192.168.1.1";
}
];
then there will be a unit ‘br0.service’ that depends on
‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device’ and
‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth1.device’, and a unit ‘br0-cfg.service’
that depends on ‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-br0.device’.
proxy_arp (and proxy_ndp for ipv6) can be turned on on a few
interfaces (at least 2).
This is mainly useful for creating pseudo-bridges between a real
interface and a virtual network such as VPN or a virtual machine for
interfaces that don't support real bridging (most wlan interfaces).
As ARP proxying acts slightly above the link-layer, below-ip traffic
isn't bridged, so things like DHCP won't work. The advantage above
using NAT lies in the fact that no IP addresses are shared, so all
hosts are reachable/routeable.
many services depend on other services that bring up network interfaces.
Examples are ipv6 tunneling clients or VPNs.
As there are multiple choices for these network-interface-providing services,
it's not nice to hardcore these deps in every service.
This change sets up a generic config option for this purpose.
providers (gw6c/gogoclient/openvpn) can plug into this to signal they bring up
an important interface.
Daemons that need these interfaces, can then depend on the 'all-interfaces' event,
instead of the individual services.
By default, the event fires when network-interfaces completes.

since the latter is rather deprecated and has been unmaintained
since 2001. Note that "ip" doesn't know about classful addressing,
so you can no longer get away with not specifying the subnet mask
for explicitly configured interfaces. So if you had
networking.interfaces =
[ { name = "eth0"; ipAddress = "192.168.1.1"; } ];
this should be changed to
networking.interfaces =
[ { name = "eth0";
ipAddress = "192.168.1.1";
subnetMask = "255.255.255.0";
}
];
otherwise you end up with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

makes it easier to get information about specific interfaces
(e.g. `nodes.router.config.networking.ifaces.eth2.ipAddress').
Really networking.interfaces should be an attribute set.

Otherwise the ntpd job won't be triggered.
* Use the "-n" flag of "initctl emit" to send the event
asynchronously.
