How to use iwd without NetworkManager or systemd: apt install iwd resolvconf cat << END > /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/iwd.conf [General] EnableNetworkConfiguration = true [Network] NameResolvingService = resolvconf END You then also need to start iwd as a daemon somehow - and consider filing patches to support those: Debian package provides hooks for systemd but not sysv or runit. Debian package includes hooks for connman, but I am not sure which iwd or connman configuration changes that involves. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
