  • the module name itself conflicts with many of our module names, therefore if it even imports correctly, we're rather lucky. I couldn't fix it even with cheap sys.path fixes just to preserve the original functionality. 😢
  • there are missing activate() and save() calls for the Scheme itself + it requires sudo anyway (which isn't even documented within plyer!)
  • the project rockymeza/wifi itself is unmaintained and even its fork was updated the last time in August 2017

Therefore we should just switch to something different and it's also a trigger to use proper tools documented either within Linux kernel(iw, wpa_supplicant, etc) or Arch wiki.

Alternatively we have nmcli used in some parts, so a faster approach is switching LinuxWifi class to nmcli wrapper and create another class with kernel recommended binaries for broader audience (RHEL, Arch, other non-debian based distros).
