[SOLVED] Cannot use NetworkManager with iwd under dinit

Before I switched to dinit, I was able to run NetworkManager with iwd in place of wpa_supplicant without issue and select Wi-Fi networks within the network menu under KDE Plasma. However, it seems like this doesn't work out under dinit.



Weirdly enough, the service itself starts as normal and I am still able to list and connect to a Wi-Fi network using iwctl. I can only (wrongly) guess that for whatever reason NetworkManager does not seem to recognise iwd running.

Any advice on how to fix this?

Nevermind, the process differs slightly under dinit to set up iwd as the Wi-Fi backend. I followed the instructions on the Arch wiki and omitted the service for iwd altogether, instead creating the required config file for NetworkManager.
