Rebuild Error - Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online

Help
1

I’m getting an error massage, “Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online” whenever I try to do a rebuild switch or test. I’ve tried adding systemd.network.wait-online.enable = false, but still get the same error message. I’ve also tried reverting to an earlier version of my flake config, but I still get the same issue, so I feel like it has more to do with something I may have done to my system outside of my nixos rebuild/nixos configuration, though maybe I didn’t revert far enough.

My rebuild switch fails with the following message:

Job for NetworkManager-wait-online.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status NetworkManager-wait-online.service" and "journalctl -xeu NetworkManager-wait-online.service" for details.

Here is the output to the journalctl command:

The output of the systemctl command is the same as the error message in the switch output.

Here is my flake: GitHub - dcolestock/nixos-flake

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong to cause this error?

I eventually solved this by adding

systemd.network.wait-online.enable = false;
boot.initrd.systemd.network.wait-online.enable = false;

To my config, switching, rebooting (where I didn’t have any internet), then removing them from my config, switching and rebooting. Not sure which of those steps were required, for all I know it was just the couple of reboots that did it.
