[SOLVED] Can't access WiFi settings when using iwd
I've just installed Arch (GNOME DE) and noticed I can't change my WiFi in my settings. I have to do it in the terminal. I believe this is because the gnome-control-center app only supports NetworkManager while I'm using iwd. Is there a way to allow it to use iwd or will I have to switch to NetworkManager?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't access WiFi settings when using iwd
Huh? iwlwifi is the kernel driver - that has no effect on which userspace networking tools you can use. Networkmanager and iwlwifi are not alternatives - are you confusing iwlwifi with iwd?
Even then iwd is an alternative to wpa_supplicant, and NetworkManager can be configured to use either one.

Sorry, I'm pretty new to this. I got it working by doing that, thanks!
(I got it mixed up because I was having issues with the driver when using other distros)
