hi,
https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager/iwd

iwd - Man Page

Internet wireless daemon

Daemon for managing Wireless devices on Linux.

The iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) project aims to provide a comprehensive
Wi-Fi connectivity solution for Linux based devices.

I used as network-manager backend and it worked far better than
wpa-supplicant, but it can be used also standalone.

Hope this helps.

Ciao,
Tito
