Package: iwd
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

`iwd' provides a separate daemon, called `ead', for authentication on
wired interfaces. One can use it e.g. with FreeRADIUS to secure access
to a LAN. `wpa_supplicant' offers similar functionality.

Due to the software maintainer's primary focus on wireless,
this feature was not yet declared a standard part and thus needs a
special build-time switch to be set. My request is that you enable it.

Because `ead' is a separate daemon, enabling this feature won't affect
the stability of the wireless daemon for current users of this package.
The README file of the project advises that the configuration option
`--enable-wired' enables this feature. It does not advise against
enabling it, but calls it "optional".

Thanks,
Lars
