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 <user>
