Re: wpa-supplicant service configuration. Guile is hard

[znavko]

Hello! I've spent 3 hours reading emacs tutorial and searching for scheme mode 
but did not get result.
Pressing M-q on each paragraph of my config has broke it (attached file with 
suffix emacs).

I do have wpa-supplicant-service-type and dhcp-client-service-type, and they do 
not work, cause wlan is soft blocked. I need to use `rfkill unblock wifi` in my 
script, but services do not do this.
After reboot I have `herd status` as in attach, networking is inactive there. I 
think soft blocking happens because there are 2 wlan in my system, a strange 
tun0 has appeared.

Also I attach some dmesg lines if it will give some info.
Now I have network services, but they do not manage the soft blocking of wifi. 
How to unblock automatically?
