[Nix-dev] Wireless firmware for NixOS Live CD

[roconnor at theorem.ca]

Hi, I'm a new NixOS user.

First I would like to thanky Marc Weber for all his help in getting NixOS 
installed on my laptop.

One issue is that neither my wireless, nor my wired network worked off the 
Live CD, as yopposed to the Kubuntu 8.04 live CD where the wireless 
worked.

For my wireless network, the driver was installed fine, it is just missing 
the firmware.  On my now working system I have the following in my 
configuration:

    hardware.firmware = [ pkgs.iwlwifi5000ucode ];

perhaps firmware such as this can be added to the live CD's configuration 
to prevent others from running into my problem.

Thanks.
