Disable wpa_supplicant
If you don't use wifi connection, you can disable wpa_supplicant.

Disable NetworkManager's use of wpa_supplicant to manage wifi clients:

[code]nmcli radio wifi off[\code]

After this, NetworkManager won't try to manage wifi devices as clients. Now you can just disable/stop the wpa_supplicant service without worrying that it will start automatically:

[code]systemctl disable wpa_supplicant[\code] [code]systemctl stop wpa_supplicant[\code]

Note that NM might still be managing an active network interface for a wifi connection. To kill this, just do nmcli c to view the interfaces, and then:

[code]nmcli c d wlan0[\code]

… for a wifi interface named wlan0.
