reinstalled iwd, disabled wpa (cant remove it due to dependency with network manager), WiFi addresses are visible now, but still can’t connect.

And
cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf
?
Edit: Alright, I see your edit.
I don’t have either. iwd is installed but not active. wpa_supplicant is active.

Run
sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant
sudo systemctl mask wpa_supplicant
Reboot and check again.

I guess the package get installed in a default EnOS’ install. It is not enabled or configured to be used.
Did that, rebooted
wpa status:
wpa_supplicant.service
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit wpa_supplicant.service is masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)
iwd is enabled and running…
Still can’t connect to Wifi
@pebcak
It is my understanding in order to use iwd you have to do the following? Correct me if i am wrong?
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/iwd.conf
add
[device]
wifi.backend=iwd
Then:
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo systemctl disable --now wpa_supplicant
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Edit: Or maybe the OP should have just stopped and restarted NetworkManager.service with wpa_supplicant running to see if it worked?

Try removing the saved networks.
sudo systemctl restart iwd
Sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
If still no luck, there must be something else going on. I have no clue what.

Right, but you would need to add
sudo systemctl enable --now iwd
to the pot as well if your setting it up from scratch.
Yes …I’m just thinking out loud because i have NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant. Although iwd is installed it’s not being used.

I reinstalled Endeavour 3 months back and iwd did not come installed with it .
I’m not sure? It’s on mine currently. Honestly i don’t think iwd is the reason it’s not working.
Should I try that with removing iwd again?

You need to make up your mind for one or the other before any further troubleshooting would be possible.
