Hi Keith,

If you're using connman, then this discussion isn't really relevant for you=
. =

You should let connman manage IPv4/IPv6 details.

In fact, this setting is useless without EnableNetworkConfiguration=3DTrue.=
  And =

you should NOT set it if you're using connman.  EnableNetworkConfiguration =
and =

NameResolvingService are only needed if you're running iwd standalone or do=
 not =

want to use an external network manager, like NM/connman/networkd, for mana=
ging =

wifi connections.

That is a question for the connman mailing list.  iwd isn't doing any netwo=
