--- gitea: none include_toc: false --- ### Network NetworkManager will be used as Network daemon due to its versatility. The package was already installed with the installation, thereby it only needs to be symlinked to `/var/service` to function. ``` # ln -s /etc/sv/NetworkManager /var/service ``` NetworkManager needs the `dbus` daemon to function, in general most other applications that will be discussed in the Post install section need `dbus`. To symlink `dbus` to `/var/service`: ``` # ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service ``` Then, NetworkManager may be configured to enhance the security of the system. This is especially useful for laptops etc. To do this edit `/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf`. ``` [device-mac-randomization] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes [connection-mac-randomization] ethernet.cloned-mac-address=random wifi.cloned-mac-address=random ``` For the user to be able to modify connections on the system they'll have to be added to the `network` group. ``` # usermod -aG network ```
