[Nix-dev] Installing wireless drivers

[Raahul Kumar]

I made the following change to configuratoin.nix

 networking.networkmanager.enable = true;

This is the error message. How do I get NetworkManager running? Or any
other way of getting wireless up?

starting the following units: default.target, getty.target,
graphical.target, ip-up.target, local-fs.target, multi-user.target,
network-interfaces.target, network.target, paths.target, remote-fs.target,
sockets.target, sound.target, swap.target, systemd-modules-load.service,
timers.target
warning: the following units failed: NetworkManager.service
