Summary0005785: iwd needs to be updated from v0.23 to v1.0
Description

Some interesting reading below ..
https://lwn.net/Articles/770991/
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/8j6mxp/the_wpasupplicant_replacement_is_here_o/

And setup is easy too..
https://blobfolio.com/2019/10/replacing-wpa-supplicant-with-iwd-in-ubuntu-eoan/

I personally changed backend from "wpa_supplicant" to "iwd" due to some issues with wpa_supplicant and the 8812au drivers, but as the articles states,
"iwd" was/is set to take over for "wpa_supplicant" at a time. And I find "iwd" to work very well, so far.

Doesn't need to change for all Kali users at this point, just keep it up 2 date so users may choose it.

Thanks!
