Hi Sirius, Thanks for taking ifupdown-ng for a spin.

I think you're using the version in stable? I upstreamed a patch for
'source' stanza glob pattern support as we use for interfaces.d a while
ago. We've had it in Debian since 0.12.1-1, but its not in stable. I'll
upload a backport as soon as I feel -ng is ready.

When using ifupdown with wpa_supplicant we have per-SSID configuration
support (cf. wpa_action.8) I wonder if a similar integration would be
possible with iwd?
