How to set the template of sys-net to debian-minimal?

Store these in its dvm-template’s /rw/config/NM-system-connections/ and you’re good to go with disposable wifi too.

Interesting idea.

@enmus

I’m even more extreme. I have one dvm-template per connection with only one wifi firmware per dvm template, meaning I’m not connecting to the same wifis with different devices.

Hmmm, I was actually about to go the opposite way. Using the same dvm-template for sys-net and sys-wifi, store all nmconnections in there but attach different PCI-devices to them.

The only threat I can infere is an information leak. A pawned sys-wifi (or sys-net using the same dvm-template) enables an attacker to see which network-devices your machine posesses and to which wifis you have been connected to.

PS: okay, I see, that might not be a minor issue since the BSSIDs could be used to uncover your geographical location…

PPS: on the other hand as sys-net/wifi would be attacked from the local net an attacker already has your geographical location.

Hahah, you made my day.
Well, I have more. One “disposable” cheap dongle per abroad travel, bought there.

Ok, but what is your threat model here?

Or is this about wifi-frequencies?

Now install the necessary packages for network management:
(in dom0) $ qvm-run --pass-io -u root deb11min-net "apt install --no-install-recommends -y firmware-iwlwifi qubes-core-agent-networking qubes-core-agent-network-manager"

For posterity: beginning from a debian-12-minimal, in addition to these packages I needed wpasupplicant. (Context)
