(WPA Supplicant) cannot be enabled at the same time: you can still connect

(WPA Supplicant) can be used together if desired. To do this you need to instruct
NetworkManager to ignore those interfaces like:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-networking.networkmanager.unmanaged"/> = [
"*" "except:type:wwan" "except:type:gsm"
];
</programlisting>
