Last good Nixpkgs for Weston+nouveau? archive
I came this commit hash to terwiz[m] on IRC, who is trying to figure out
what the last version of Spectrum that worked on their NUC with Nvidia
graphics is.

+  <title>NetworkManager</title>
+  <para>
+    To facilitate network configuration, some desktop environments use
+    NetworkManager. You can enable NetworkManager by setting:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+networking.networkmanager.enable = true;
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    some desktop managers (e.g., GNOME) enable NetworkManager
+    automatically for you.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    All users that should have permission to change network settings
+    must belong to the <literal>networkmanager</literal> group:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+users.users.alice.extraGroups = [ &quot;networkmanager&quot; ];
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    NetworkManager is controlled using either <literal>nmcli</literal>
+    or <literal>nmtui</literal> (curses-based terminal user interface).
+    See their manual pages for details on their usage. Some desktop
+    environments (GNOME, KDE) have their own configuration tools for
+    NetworkManager. On XFCE, there is no configuration tool for
+    NetworkManager by default: by enabling
+    <xref linkend="opt-programs.nm-applet.enable" />, the graphical
+    applet will be installed and will launch automatically when the
+    graphical session is started.
+  </para>
+  <note>
+    <para>
+      <literal>networking.networkmanager</literal> and
+      <literal>networking.wireless</literal> (WPA Supplicant) can be
+      used together if desired. To do this you need to instruct
+      NetworkManager to ignore those interfaces like:
+    </para>
+    <programlisting language="bash">
+networking.networkmanager.unmanaged = [
+   &quot;*&quot; &quot;except:type:wwan&quot; &quot;except:type:gsm&quot;
+];
+</programlisting>
+    <para>
+      Refer to the option description for the exact syntax and
+      references to external documentation.
+    </para>
+  </note>
