What’s the correct way to use iwd on Manjaro? What if use NetworkManager with iwd?

If you want to use iwd on Manjaro in conjunction with NetworkManager, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install iwd using the package manager of your choice. For example, you can use Pamac by running the following command:
pamac install iwd
  1. Enable the iwd service by running the following command:
systemctl enable iwd
  1. Add the iwd backend to NetworkManager by editing the NetworkManager configuration file. To do this, open the configuration file using a text editor with root privileges:
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  1. In the file, find the [main] section and add the following line:
wireless-backend=iwd
  1. Save the file and exit the text editor.
  2. Restart NetworkManager and the iwd service by running the following command:
systemctl restart NetworkManager iwd
  1. Restart your computer to apply the changes.

After following these steps, iwd will be used as the wireless backend for NetworkManager on your Manjaro system. You can manage your wireless networks using the Plasma Network Manager tool or the NetworkManager applet, whichever you prefer.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any additional questions.
