Hi,

This patch is still in the sponsorship queue but it didn't land in Kinetic as intended. Is it still relevant? The upstream issue is closed. Was there any activity in iwd in Debian in relation to this change?

I found https://iwd.wiki.kernel.org/networkmanager#converting_network_profiles which seems relevant.

I'm not really familiar with the area, just trying to help things along. So I could easily be mistaken here through lack of knowledge. But iwd packaging doesn't have any metadata that prevents co-installation with wpasupplicant as far as I can see. So how do we know that if the user installs iwd, then they definitely want their Network Manager profiles converted over? This gives me doubt that the iwd postinst is the right place to do this conversion. But I can't think of any better suggestions; as I say I'm not familiar in this area.
