Wpa_supplicant.service taking too much boot time

I was checking why my system was taking so much time to boot and used the systemd-analyze blame, critical-chain command & found that it was NetworkManager.service & wpa_supplicant.service taking almost a minute to boot up…Any solution for this ?

Well you could try not using wpa and moving to something like iwd.

I always replace wpa_supplicant with iwd. It uses what is already provided by the kernel and doesn’t depend on any external libraries.

207ms iwd.service
660ms NetworkManager.service
