quite some services need to be started/restarted when a connection is
established/teared down. Also, some services are optional depending on
the connected access point. For example: use a vpn on an untrusted
network.
these small trigger scripts don't change any behaviour by themselves,
but allow you to hook in to them if you need.
example use:
jobs.gw6c.startOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "started openvpn-dcsOffice";
jobs.gw6c.stopOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "stopping openvpn-dcsOffice";
jobs."openvpn-dcsOffice".startOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "wicd-postconnect";
jobs."openvpn-dcsOffice".stopOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "stopping network-interfaces or wicd-predisconnect";
In the example, I use 3 layers. When a physical connection is
available (wifi connect), I setup a vpn connection, and setup an ipv6
tunnel on top of that. When disconnecting, they are automatically shut
down in the right order as well.

at least 2 nixos users were affected by a graphics bug that got fixed
in 2.15.
Officially 2.15 was meant for a newer xorg server, libdrm, mesa and all, but
I've been running with this for over a month with no issues (used
compositing desktop, opengl and hd video).
I know 2.17 is in the repo, but it doesn't builde (missing deps I
think).

for setting up tunnel/routes.
I had some issues with ipv6, iproute2 fixed those.
Both are equally well supported by upstream.

I use this feature for doing snapshot backups, which is way faster
than copying a huge files tree.
The patch is semi-official, rsync-patches is maintained by rsync
upstream itself.
The patch doesn't affect any behaviour, it only adds 1 option
so it shouldn't affect you if you don't use it.

on some hardware, wpa_supplicant would crash when controlled via dbus
(wicd/networkmanager), this patch fixes it.

Note: this update simplified the nix expression, as some of the problems mentioned in
the original expression do not seem present anymore.
Also note: the original expression did not compile in combination with the 3.1 kernel.
