This is a modified package configured to get NetworkManager working exclusively with iwd. Main difference with upstream version is that iwd is required and wpa_supplicant is not needed (so you can uninstall it); iwd seems more reliable on certain wireless cards, so someone could prefer it in place of wpa_supplicant.

It's recommended to enable systemd iwd.service at boot: systemctl enable iwd.service

Tested with Plasma NM system tray applet (plasma-nm), it's working.

Note that wpa_supplicant is still needed to build the package, but you can uninstall it after the building stage.

I won't, don't use it anymore. At least I could help as a contributor, but not as a maintainer.

ilikenwf commented on 2019-10-31 16:29 (UTC)

Disowned, feel free to take it over.

He can make me as a contributor, so I can push the update, or you can download the PKGBUILD and install it on your own.

Anyway, I don't think I will update it in the future since I'm still having issues with iwd and I'm using wpa_supplicant.

@ilikenwf I updated this package to test the new version on my system: https://pastebin.com/i6m1vxc6

Feel free to push the commit here.

As stated here, I had issues with iwd and I'm forced to come back to wpa_supplicant, so don't need this package anymore. Feel free to adopt it if you want.

I noticed that plasma-nm applet it's not showing wifi when using an external usb wifi adapter, but it's working when I restart networkmanager service. So I managed to resolve enabling iwd.service at boot. I pushed an overriding configuration for safety reasons to get iwd.service start after udev and before networkmanager service.

If you're having same issues, it's recommended to enable iwd service at boot.
