No, you'd want to avoid that for wifi devices. That's why I think even separate (conflicting) plugins would be fine in this case but I'm not sure if this is possible with NM's current plugin system. > Could we check whether the iwd dbus service is claimed > and just use iwd if it's running? We could do that but it'd rely on iwd running before NetworkManager starts, maybe that's not an issue. I seem to remember a DBus design guideline according to which clients should tolerate services coming up and going away.
