Hi Thomas,
I managed to fix my wifi - see below.

I guix pulled yesterday and noticed that the build daemon could

unprivileged, so I reconfigured and today I woke up and noticed
that my wifi
isn't working anymore.
When I run `nmcli d` I get this:
```
wlp0s20f3 wifi unmanaged
```
And with nmcli:
```
wlp0s20f3: unmanaged

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been chasing a similar
issue but
didn't reboot until weeks later so hadn't been able to figure
out what was
going on.
I'm getting the same behaviour, but with my Atheros ath9k mini
PCIe card,
which has always had drivers/firmware included in Linux Libre.
The cause of this problem might be because I did not let
guix-ownership
change every file ownership? I thought I did but last time I
checked
/var/guix/profiles was owned by root so I chowned it to
guix-daemon manually
but it did not solve my problem.
Permissions make sense. I'd tried different hardware, and using
"guix
time-machine" to reconfigure back to April 10, but no luck. Was
beginning
to suspect some sort of "state" problem with my
installation. Were you able
to solve this?
I noticed some very strange ownership in /gnu/store, /etc/guix and
/var/guix with owner "971" and group "sshd".
I was able to fix my wifi by changing the ownership back to
root:root and
restarting NetworkManager. Note that I don't recommend anyone do
this
without taking a BACKUP FIRST. Paths came from "Migrating to the
Unprivileged Daemon" in the Guix manual.
sudo su
herd stop guix-daemon
mount -o remount,rw /gnu/store
chown -R root:root \
/gnu \
/var/guix/{gc.lock,daemon-socket,db,discover} \
/var/guix/{gcroots,offload,substitute,temproots} \
/var/log/guix \
/etc/guix
mount -o remount,ro /gnu/store
herd start guix-daemon
herd restart NetworkManager
Thanks to lfam for talking through this in #guix.
As to why this happened, I can't say. I believe the system wasn't
rebooted until many days later so I don't think the process would
have been interrupted.
Regards,
Ben
