[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#919619: network-manager: breaking configuration when updating

[Michele Cane]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.28.0-2+b1
Followup-For: Bug #919619

Dear Maintainer,

following up on the previous exchanges, I have iwd with NM. I have disabled the wpasupplicant service. On top I have removed ifupdown.

Recently, after an update (I believe nm-gnome), then and that the wpasupplicant service was enable resulting in connection not working.

Reading on the previous echanges tehre was a mention of NM not developing/maintaining iwd backend but I see that they have recent commits (Nov 2020) that will end up in 1.29.

It would be great if we could reconsider this discussion, especially if the iwd backend in NM is being debeloped.

Thanks

Mike
