Oh, oh! One for the group:
I notice that the crda package has a udev rule in it:
/nix/store/6nzijs5fiwsm4hzpvvfyxkhb17gxdwwc-crda-3.18/lib/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
but after installation this rule has not made it into my
/run/current-system/sw/lib/udev/rules.d/ folder (I think it needs to be there
for it to work, right?)
So, what can I override in the crda package derivation (or whatever) to make
this symlink happen? Nix is frustrating sometimes — a simple ln -s is
disallowed! :)
After some poking, I’ve found the services.udev.extraRules key, and added the
text of the rules file to that in my configuration.nix, as
services = {
udev = {
extraRules = "KERNEL=='regulatory*', ACTION=='change',
SUBSYSTEM=='platform',
RUN+='/nix/store/6nzijs5fiwsm4hzpvvfyxkhb17gxdwwc-crda-3.18/bin/crda'";
};
…
but that doesn’t seem to help either.
So close! Possibly…
Any thoughts?
