I want to use systemd-networkd and iwd instead of networkamanger. And setup systemd-resolved as well. In normal distros, I just create a netwok file defining the name of the interface (wlan0 for wifi or en* for ethernet) . And for systemd-resolved, just link the /etd/resolv.conf to some resolv.conf. I enable the services: systemd-networkd.service, systemd-resolved.networkd and iwd.service after that.
SIde note: my ethernet interface gets read as wwp0s20f0u1 (USB Tethering from phone) and not as en* something. In other distros it used to get read as enp* something like that.
This is my networking.nix, currently working internet.
{lib, ...} : {
networking = {
# useNetworkd = true;
useDHCP = false;
# Refer this https://mynixos.com/nixpkgs/option/networking.hostName
# For properly setting your hostname
hostName = "hppavilion"; # Define your hostname.
#networkmanager = {
# enable = true;
# wifi = {
# backend = "iwd";
# };
#};
wireless.iwd = {
enable = true;
settings = {
Settings.AutoConnect = true;
};
};
};
systemd = {
network = {
enable = true;
networks = {
"50-dhcp" = {
matchConfig.Name = "en*";
networkConfig.DHCP = "yes";
linkConfig.RequiredForOnline = "no";
};
"50-wireless" = {
matchConfig.Name = "wlan0";
networkConfig = {
DHCP = "yes";
IgnoreCarrierLoss = "3s";
};
};
};
};
};
services = {
resolved = {
enable = true;
};
};
}
What is the difference between networking.useNetworkd and system.network.enable?
