@brody wdym by networkd functionality? NetworkManager and networkd can coexist and be in use simultaneously.

@Prototik: What do you think about adding the systemd-networkd functionality to the package? I would prefer not to create a new AUR package if the existing one already has most of the functionality. I would also send you the corresponding patches.

for anyone wanting to use this package:

the systemd drop in files (50-iwd.conf and 50-networkmanager.conf) cause networkmanager to detect my wireless card twice somehow. i dont know if they were neccesary back when the package was made but networkmanager can launch iwd itself now perfectly fine and removing them fixes that bug.

@Prototik this is the way~!

thanks.

I want to switch to iwd by use this package, because the builtin wpa_supplicant can not manage a hotspot with password to work

iwd works with hotspot with password, (but failed to start a 5G hotspot ,while wpa_supplicant works)

it's wired that they indifferent with the bug of wpa_supplicant ...

@ihipop that's caused by iwd itself to avoid race condition, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#Wireless_device_is_not_renamed_by_udev

@cherkaba are you using networkmanager-iwd package from AUR? It causes that problems and not required for this overlay (that's purpose of overlay to keep default networkmanager, but force to use iwd).

Revert back to default NetworkManager (with something like pacman -Syu networkmanager libnm) and then install this package.

After that you can easily delete wpa_supplicant package if no one more uses it.

hi how to install this pkg?

but i still cannot install networkmanager-iwd =>

There seems to be a bug in the PKGBUILD:

NM service is NetworkManager.service (with capital N and M`)

so there must be

install -Dm644 "$srcdir/50-iwd.conf" -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d"

instead of

install -Dm644 "$srcdir/50-iwd.conf" -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/networkmanager.service.d"
