Hi, Just wanted to drop a comment about the iwd status in NM. NM has since 1.24.0, which is now in testing/unstable, basic support for connecting to a hidden network using the iwd backend.
There are still many minor bugs remaining in the NM iwd backend both for hidden and any other network. Examples that comes to mind: - Removing a connection in NM doesn't seem to propagate to iwd known-network list. - NM and iwd sometimes gets out of sync for unknown reasons, stopping iwd and restarting NetworkManager then browsing menues to trigger dbus activation of iwd again can be used as a workaround. - nmcli errors out on trying to scan (for a hidden network!) even when specifying 'hidden yes' on the command line. (Working method to provision a hidden network includes using the "Connect to hidden network..." menu entry in gnome-control-center Wi-Fi pane.) - and more... Many minor workaroundable issues that needs more polish. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like anyone is working on improving the NM iwd backend since quite a while now (except for my basic hidden network contribution, which was a one-off for personal needs). Regards, Andreas Henriksson
