 K900 | Try removing the forced regulatory domain on cfg80211 and adding it to the hostapd config instead? | 22:24:08 |
| crushing-smite | how to? | 22:25:01 |
| K900 | Honestly for starters just remove the boot.extraModprobeConfig | 22:27:57 |

 Nigel | May I ask how to work around networking.useNetworkd = true; causing activation to fail (stalled indefinitely) after services are stopped and the vps inaccessible via ssh. | 21:20:18 |
| K900 | It is not perfect | 21:23:59 |
| K900 | You probably want to see what it actually sets up | 21:24:04 |
| Nigel | I added -v to the switch command but it didn't help. It was copied from a near identical vps that I intended to transfer a mailserver from (and worked). | 21:25:58 |
| K900 | Not like that | 21:26:21 |
| K900 | Inspect the generated networkd units | 21:26:57 |
| Nigel | I guess using nix before activation - please may I ask how to look at this? | 21:29:42 |
| Nigel | One difference I see is that the new vps has ```networking.useDHCP = lib.mkDefault true;```` | 21:30:18 |
| K900 | nixos-rebuild repl and look at services.systemd.network | 21:30:22 |
| Nigel | I can only find:
nix-repl> config.systemd.network
{
config = { ... };
enable = true;
links = { ... };
netdevs = «repeated»;
networks = { ... };
units = { ... };
wait-online = { ... };
}
nix-repl> config.systemd.network.networks
{
"99-ethernet-default-dhcp" = { ... };
"99-wireless-client-dhcp" = { ... };
}
