Just so to be clear......
The contents of my /etc/network/interfaces file are:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug enp2s0
#iface enp6s0 inet static
# address 192.168.1.77/24
# gateway 192.168.1.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
# dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlp7s0
iface wlp7s0 inet static
wpa-ssid JupiterRising
wpa-psk (a long string of alphanumeric characters)
address 192.168.1.99/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
If I have a file called dave in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ and its contents are:
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlp7s0
iface wlp7s0 inet static
wpa-ssid JupiterRising
wpa-psk (a long string of alphanumeric characters)
address 192.168.1.99/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
Are you saying that my /etc/network/interfaces file may look like the following so long as the line "source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*" (without quotes) is present?
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug enp2s0
#iface enp6s0 inet static
# address 192.168.1.77/24
# gateway 192.168.1.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
# dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8

For the moment, yes. I encountered the same problems when I tried iwd on Fedora 35. The folks of Fedora community were unable to help me fix it. Thanks for asking, mon cher.
