| - | IWD will fall back to the legacy mechanism if it detects that a phy's driver does not support the needed interface management commands. It will also do this if the ''-i'' and/or ''-I'' options are used (there shouldn't normally be any need for that and in any case ''-p'' and ''-P'' are preferred). The legacy logic can also be forced (or inhibited) by using the ''use_default_interface'' //main.conf// setting as documented [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/wireless/iwd.git/tree/doc/main.conf|here]]. | + | IWD will fall back to the legacy mechanism if it detects that a phy's driver does not support the needed interface management commands.
