Was this originally a private email or did I miss this?  I think I
blacklisted any reference to systemd with the sentence "Why would you
want"

I wish iwlist and iwconfig worked with the new password configurations

anyway

wicd seems to be working for most configurations on manjaro with openrc
which after trying a few variations is what I settled on.

with the integration of conselkit and conselket2 and X derooted and
essentially broken, and rsyslog broken in systemd, this task is destined
to be increasingly difficult.  

If one wants a computer that takes its commands, rather than the
reverse, one will need to increasingly set the systemd east germans
float their own ocean and work on a linux system with openrc.

I don't think the split can be avoided.
