I'm not sure exactly what *should* appear. Normally, I read about DHCP's actions in the logs.

It's claimed that iwd can do DHCP itself. For this, you'd drop the [IPv4] paragraph above, and instead put [General] EnableNetworkConfiguration=true into /etc/iwd/main.conf (create if necessary). > Please note that I have disabled IPv6 by adding the line > > GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet" > > to /etc/default/grub It's claimed that iwd only configures IPv6 if you have [Network] EnableIPv6=true in /etc/iwd/main.conf.
