Subject: [bug#75145] [PATCH v6] services: network-manager: Add extra-configuration-files field.
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2025 20:52:52 +0530

Allow users to specify additional configuration files for
NetworkManager. These files will be added to
`/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d` (NetworkManager's default configuration
directory location).

[extra-configuration-files]: New field.
(network-manager-activation): Honor the new field.
* doc/guix.texi (Networking Setup): Document the new field.

+A list of two-element lists; the first element of each list is a file
+name (as a string), and the second is a file-like object.  Used to
+specify configuration files which will be added to
+@file{/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d}.  NetworkManager will read additional
+configuration from this directory.  For details on configuration file
+precedence and the configuration file format, see the
+@command{NetworkManager.conf(5)} man page.

+For example, to add two files @file{001-basic.conf} and
+@file{002-unmanaged.conf}:
