I dont use iwd, never did, and actually doesn't really know what's all about. After updating, my wifi doesn't work anymore. After checking kernel/drivers/firmware and spent lot of time, i noticed this in my logs: Aug 26 16:21:32 falco dbus-daemon[4831]: [system] Activated service 'net.connman.iwd' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Aug 26 16:21:32 falco /etc/init.d/NetworkManager[11409]: status: starting Aug 26 16:21:32 falco /etc/init.d/NetworkManager[11423]: status: starting Aug 26 16:21:32 falco NetworkManager[11383]: <error> [1661523692.6313] iwd-manager[0x5602e89bd220]: failed to acquire IWD Object Manager: Wi-Fi will not be available (Error calling StartServiceByName for net.connman.iwd: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1) And then, i noticed that 1.38.4 has +iwd, which my previous version (1.38.2) didn't have. So i started /etc/init.d/iwd, but it crashes (according to rc-status), and i still can't connect. I'm aware of #865017, but i'm not asking for a warning. This update broke my system. Current workaround: I had to -iwd the package, and connect through a usb-ethernet dongle to be able to re-emerge. Reproducible: Always
