Title:
   Doesn't autoconnect to wifi using iwd

Status in NetworkManager:
  Unknown
Status in iwd package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If you create your wireless connection with wpa_supplicant, then the
  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<ssid-name>.network lists the
  "interface-name". But then when you install iwd, it becomes the
  handler of wireless networks and changes the network interface name
  without updating the name (or removing it) from the .network file.

  The upstream bug is
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/1091

  Filed the launchpad bug in iwd because an iwd post-install script will
  be the proposed solution.
