[Feature] - different backends/darwin support (iwd, wpa_supplicant, CoreWLAN)

[aspauldingcode]

It would be lovely to run on macOS too. In the future..

I don't think it will ever work, this relies on iwd daemon which is only used in Linux.
Maye time to switch to Linux 😉

@pythops iwd is just a different backend. You'll have to seperate the codebase from it a little bit to support both macOS networking and iwd. This way, you'll have a TUI for front-end, and optional iwd/wpa_supplicant/CoreWLAN & configd

OS	Wireless Backend	CLI Tools	TUI Frontend
Linux	iwd, wpa_supplicant	iwctl, wpa_cli, nmcli	Impala
macOS	CoreWLAN / configd	airport, networksetup, scutil	Impala (TODO)

TODO

• Add support for iwd backend on Linux
• Add support for wpa_supplicant backend on Linux
• Add support for macOS (Darwin) networking via airport / networksetup

@pythops would you be opposed to a PR?

I agree. I am currently working to support networkmanager as backend. Then we can add other backends for different OS.

would you be opposed to a PR?

Absolutely not. Maybe not right now, cause I need to finish the refactor first. I have reopened this issue to keep track of it

[aspauldingcode]

Exciting.
