[solved] Iwd wireless setup issue

[Rip2]

Pi4, minimal-0617.img installed.
iwctl --passphrase xxx station wlan0 connect SSID.
no error, nothing show up, but no network connecting?

I just noticed this topic is listed under ARM. I am running x86_64 here so the following may not work, sorry.

To enable the iwd backend, first install iwd and then create the following configuration file:

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf

[device]
wifi.backend=iwd

To replace wpa_supplicant with iwd:

sudo pacman -S iwd 
sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant
sudo systemctl mask wpa_supplicant
sudo systemctl enable iwd.service

Reboot

thanks, iwd is preinstalled and iwd.service is running.
no wired so wifi is only way to go.

edit,
ok,
[iwd]# station wlan0 connect SSID

this line didn’t show up
*Type the network passphrase for SSID psk

edit2,
ok, switch to netctl and work.
maybe next minimal-img build should add netctl packages?

edit3,
add /etc/iwd/main.conf
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true
[Network]
EnableIPv6=false

btw, minimal.img GPG keys seems broken, can not update package.
