network-online.target properly depends on the underlying network
management tool (e.g. NixOS static configuration scripts, dhcpcd,
NetworkManager, networkd) signalling that all interfaces are up and
appropriately configured (to whatever degree possible/required), whereas
network.target only indicates that the network management tool itself
has started.
At one point in my configuration I had:
boot.kernel.sysctl = {
# https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13019/description-of-kernel-printk-values
"kernel.printk" = "4 4 1 7";
};
which triggered:
error: The unique option `boot.kernel.sysctl.kernel.printk' is defined multiple times, in `/home/teto/dotfiles/nixpkgs/mptcp-unstable.nix' and `/home/teto/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/system/boot/kernel.nix'.

This simple addition allows to override it.
After the systemd 237 upgrade, radvd wouldn't start anymore because the
PID file cannot be written. It seems that directories in /run has to be
explicitely defined as RuntimeDirectory now. The PID file isn't needed
due to systemd, though, so it was removed along with forking and loggia
via syslog.
This fixes the ipv6 NixOS test.
