I am starting a new thread and will close the old one, since the subject
changed. Not sure this is the right way.
This is a follow-up of https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60752

This patch allows users to disable wireless adapters or hook in a another
implementation like iwd, without breaking existing installations.

Let's keep the discussion in this thread, not to lose the context.
BTW, there is a retitle command for debbugs in case it necessary to
change the title of the bug.
From what I see wpa-supplicant requirement is not needed, as Bruno
mentioned, there are use cases, where connman can be used without
wpa-supplicant or wireless backend at all.
According to the documentation I was able to find, to enable iwd support
--wifi=iwd_agent should be added to connmand, so I applied the first
patch with a few adjustments: Completely removed wpa-supplicant
requirement, realigned the code. Unfortunately, I don't use connman and
can't easily check, Declan, could you please confirm that iwd is now
working correctly with connman?
