ineffective)?

Hi,
is it possible to downgrade wpasupplicant to recommends and add iwd as
recommends too? So that $user can choose which one to use, iwd or
wpasupplicant ,as long as there is no other gui for iwd in debian.
Maybe, well this is an additional wish on that way, you can pack iwgtk
(https://github.com/J-Lentz/iwgtk) too, it is in an early state but it
works.
Thank you for the great work you done and still doing
Hendrik Lehmbruch
