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.extraUsers.youruser.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 adding
|
|
<code>networkmanagerapplet</code> to the list of system packages, the
|
|
graphical applet will be installed and will launch automatically when XFCE is
|
|
starting (and will show in the status tray).

|

<code>networking.networkmanager</code> and <code>networking.wireless</code>
|
|
(WPA Supplicant) cannot be enabled at the same time: you can still connect
|
|
to the wireless networks using NetworkManager.
