Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to say "I'm using NM with iwd". > The package is still built with support for it > https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/network-manager/-/blob/debian/master/de > bian/rules#L43 But I still can't remove wpasupplicant as it isn't defined as an alternative (backend) for networkmanager. I'd like to remove wpasupplicant as I have no use for it and *either* iwd OR wpasupplicant should be used to make the wireless connection, but not both. If the Depends was changed to "wpasupplicant | iwd" I would be able to get rid of wpasupplicant.
