Enabling wireless networking fails

I literally just started my first nixos an hour ago or so, so I might be missing some obvious things, but whenever I try to enable wireless, the nixos build fails. In Plasma I already enabled wifi anyway but I´d like to have it in sync with my config file.


Is there documentation about what interfaces the error message references?

The error exactly tells you what the issueis, you can not use network manager together with netwroking.wireless.

You have to pick one. Most users just want to use NM.

networking.wireless really is just a name for wpa_supplicant. NetworkManager already manages wireless connection for you, so there’s no need to enable wpa_supplicant (they would conflict with each other). Generally you will want NetworkManager if you use KDE Plasma because it has better integration.
