Debian reconsiders init-system diversity

systemd-networkd handles network configuration.

For WiFi, you still need WPA supplicant or similar, but you'll have those two things playing together.

systemd-networkd is completely optional. In raspbian it is disabled by default and a very simple unit-file that calls ifup/ifdown is used. For wifi you obviously have to configure wpa-supplicant or use NetworkManager.

You asked what systemd had to do with WiFi. There are other options, but the parent wanted systemd.

Just install ConnMan instead.
