| There's fantastic support for all the weird ways to connect:
| wifi-p2p/direct, ad-hoc, Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP/Easy
| Connect), Shared Code Device Provisioning (Pkex). Good debug
| tools like initiating roam to.
|
| It's nice that iwd does less; it just gets wireless connected.
| NetworkManager does so much, and somehow it's never sparked joy.
| I've spent time on connman and that was fine enough. I've managed

| has really been a joy to work with for me, so clear & direct,
| with easy config files & a very pleasant little tui/cli.
|
| Systemd-networkd has also been quite simple & direct for me, very
| configurable. But that's another story.
