iwd.py
------

This file contains methods to communicate with iwd via
its D-Bus API and control WiFi adapters.

Some terms used here, such as device and adapter might
confuse you if you haven't used iwctl before.
Just as a quick reference, here is a list of terms
and what they mean:

- ad-hoc: a mode supported by some WiFi adapters to
          start a decentralised network, where there
          is no central point of failure.

- ap: a mode used to start a central access point
      so that other machines without naxalnet can
      connect to the mesh. AP is also known as
      WiFi hotspot.

- station: this is the mode most WiFi adapters use
           by default. This mode is used to connect to
           an ap. naxalnet DOES NOT use this mode.

- adapter: a physical WiFi chip or something similar
           that is present inside most laptops and phones
           or can be connected via USB to a machine.

- device: an interface provided by the kernel to control
          an adapter. Some adapters can have multiple
          devices so that you can start an ap on one device
          and an ad-hoc on the other. By default, iwd starts
          only one device each for one adapter.

- machine: Since iwd uses the term device for a
           WiFi interface, we use the word machine to
           refer to a computer, or a laptop, or a phone.

- node: a machine that runs naxalnet and is therefore
        connected to the mesh.
