About iwd

From Debian's package description

iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) is a minimalistic wireless daemon that uses modern Linux interfaces like cfg80211 and nl80211 (netlink). The daemon provides a D-Bus API.

The daemon can be controlled from the command line with the included iwctl client utility.

The included iwmon utility can be used to monitor the 802.11 subsystem generic netlink commands and events. It uses the nlmon kernel driver from Linux 3.10 and later.

Note that the package defaults to relying on dbus activation to start. If you want to use iwd standalone without any manager, then you'll need to manually enable the system service.

From Debian's description of the iwd package, under that package's license.
