AFAIK at the moment there isn't proper WPA Enterprise support (well,
most TLS methods appears to be missing kernel patches). Let's please be
careful about changing the default wireless daemon to iwd, there's a
couple of moving parts there, it's not just about changing the software.

For instance, iwd's design makes me expect that some hardware will no
longer be supported unless it is fully ported to using netlink rather
than ioctls (hopefully I am wrong about this). That's not a problem for
Intel-based wireless, but AIUI there are still lots of other drivers in
the wild.

My 0.02$: if we want to change from wpasupplicant to iwd, let's make
sure we have everything in place as early as possible (kernel patches),
and let's do some careful regression testing on a variety of hardware so
we can try to catch issues before they happen.
