Your configuration looks … adventurous. Here are some recommendations: * don’t nest modify-services. Nothing good will come of this. It only serves to confuse you. “modify-services” can modify more than one service at once. * don’t leave parentheses on lines all by themselves. They get lonely. * don’t use dhcpd-service-type unless you want to run a DHCP server. Use dhcp-client-service-type for the DHCP *client*. * you don’t need to add wpa-supplicant to the list of globally installed packages. The service is enough. * maybe try fixing the indentation (Emacs can do this with M-q) — it’s very hard to understand the configuration when the indentation tries hard to mislead you. -- Ricardo
