package: iwd version: 2.0-1 I reported the first issue I encountered trying to switch to iwd v2.0 in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025345 (iwd service not starting after installation).
Continuing... With a reboot having fixed the issue starting the iwd service, I was still not connected to wifi, so I opened gnome's wifi settings. It was now giving me a list of access points again, and mine was listed, but connecting failed every time I tried to select it. I then deleted and recreated the access point (a hidden type as previously mentioned), having remembered having needed to do this last time I tried iwd. This made no difference. I then toggled wifi on/off and immediately it tried auto-connecting and was successful. WTH, why was that necessary. It then worked just fine for the next X number of hours until I shut down my laptop for the night. The router remained on. Coming back to it today, router still on, I turned on my laptop, and no auto-connected wifi. I went into gnome wifi settings and selected the access point, but it failed to connect, over and over. I tried toggling wifi on/off like before, but no difference. It just outright refused to connect. I then turned off and restarted the router. Laptop still refused to connect. I then rebooted the laptop, and then it worked. WTH. This is reminiscent of my troubles last time. I'd hoped that they'd have fixed this by now. :/ Btw, I'm now using an Intel wifi module. At some point in the past I'd had a different brand's, but I can't remember which of the two I was using the last time I tried iwd. The following is a chunk of journalctl output from when the laptop was refusing to connect today: Dec 02 19:02:28 debian1 kernel: iwlwifi 0000:3a:00.0: Not associated and the session protection is over already...
