When i install my PCI wireless card and my ethernet card is plugged to
its cable, network manager fails to start because of an error starting
wpa_supplicant.

Could you provide the actual error messages that you see?  You can
hopefully get them from /var/log/messages.

Without that information there’s nothing we can do about the issue.

I cannot see anything else on the log. I attach the respective file.

Also, i tryed restarting the networking service:
~$ sudo herd restart networking
Service networking is not running.
Service wpa-supplicant could not be started.
Service networking depends on wpa-supplicant.
Service networking could not be started.

Indeed, the log is unhelpful.  When you run this command, is there
anything that gets printed on the console?  (You can hit ctrl-alt-f1 and
then run ’sudo herd start wpa-supplicant’ from there.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Right now the networking service has started normally. This error
starting networking service is a situation that is present sometimes on
boot and others it is not. When it is present, I run:
sudo iwconfig wlp2s1 essid QO
sudo dhclient wlp2s1 -v
After that, can connect to the network. I can also make the test you
ask. I did it before. I do not remember exactly the error message when
trying:
sudo herd restart wpa-supplicant
But I do remember that there was no information that told baout the
problem except that it was unable to start it. The log which I sont on
the previous message said that it could not start wpa-supplicant because
it depended on dbus-system. But I when I restarted that service, the
machine became unusable; probably because the login manager stopped
working and I had to restart the machine.

HH!,
Quiliro.

I have no problem since the message above. Posibly because a new Guix
commit fixed it after which I pulled and reconfigured.
