Just so to be clear......

The contents of my /etc/network/interfaces file are:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug enp2s0
#iface enp6s0 inet static
#	address 192.168.1.77/24
#	gateway 192.168.1.1
	# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
#	dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlp7s0
iface wlp7s0 inet static
        wpa-ssid JupiterRising
        wpa-psk (a long string of alphanumeric characters)
        address 192.168.1.99/24
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
        dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8

If I have a file called dave in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ and its contents are:



# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlp7s0
iface wlp7s0 inet static
        wpa-ssid JupiterRising
        wpa-psk (a long string of alphanumeric characters)
        address 192.168.1.99/24
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
        dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8


Are you saying that my /etc/network/interfaces file may look like the following so long as the line "source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*" (without quotes) is present?



# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug enp2s0
#iface enp6s0 inet static
#	address 192.168.1.77/24
#	gateway 192.168.1.1
	# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
#	dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8

For the moment, yes. I encountered the same problems when I tried iwd on Fedora 35. The folks of Fedora community were unable to help me fix it. Thanks for asking, mon cher.
