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.

bohemus: works for me (Ok: 87, fail: 0). If the checks constantly keep failing, you could try to build with --nocheck.

Building fails for me, not sure what is going wrong.

Thanks Taijian, fixed.

You have a typo in your latest dependency array: jannson> instead of the correct jansson

EDIT: This is specifically in the array for nm-iwd-cloud-setup, the arrays for the other sub-packages are fine.

@rubin55: it works for me.

It looks like your problem is caused by g-ir-scanner. Check if you can invoke it manually. If not, try reinstalling python-setuptools, which provides the distutils module nowadays.

This doesn't look like a bug in the networkmanage-iwd package, because it correctly depends on gobject-introspection (which provides g-ir-scanner) and that package correctly depends on python-setuptools, so it sounds like something is wrong on your system.

I'm getting an error telling me there is no module named distutils:

Hi buzo, thank you I was able to build it with pkgctl build. Guess it's time do ditch yay.

xAsh: Works for me, but I am building in a clean chroot rather than with yay.

Still fails with 1.54, waiting for the maintainer's input before reporting upstream:

Anyone else not able to update because of the check-local-exports-libnm test failing?
