This guide describes how to setup networking under Debian Linux on a laptop. While there are many options to choose from, Debian 12 (bookworm) uses NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant as a default. This guide installs systemd-networkd and iwd, with the goal of controlling networking form the command line, using modern components.

The official Debian documentation lists various options and serves as a starting point.

NetworkManager → systemd-networkd

Replacing NetworkManager with systemd-networkd has been done following the official Debian docs and a great guide by Fernanto Cejas.
