Seriously!!?  My wireless is slow, so I've been sort of following this
thread in case something useful (to me :-) gets mentioned, but all the
learning being done seems to be of the negative "this doesn't work"
flavour,,

Why not stick with standard procedure and follow
  https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse

That at least seems to be a better bet for getting a working wireless
connection that you can then improve upon later.

Best Regards,
Lee

 "it's also possible to nearly base your entire networking stack on
  one codebase with IWD alone. It's an all-in-one wireless client,
  wireless daemon, and even a DHCP client optionally! At its best, your
  entire networking stack can be as minimal as IWD + systemd-resolved,
  and this works wonderfully for many scenarios. It has virtually zero
  dependencies and uses modern kernel features as often as
  possible. Anecdotal reports suggest that it's much faster to connect
  to networks than wpa_supplicant, and has better roaming support,
  among other perceived improvements."

I like the idea of better roaming support. But even at home, I want a
connection method that occasionally "goes to sleep" and means crossing
the house to sort it out.

 'If "EnableNetworkConfiguration=true" is set, you'll also need to
  configure IWD's name resolving service. It supports systemd-resolved
  and resolvconf.'

Currently I run resolvconf. As I wrote elsewhere, I've not delved into
how systemd has disturbed things.

Anyway, AIUI this wiki page seems to assume that you're converting a
running WiFi from wpa_supplicant to iwd, rather than setting up iwd
from scratch. So it (again, seems to) lack too many troubleshooting
methods for those doing the latter on a new installation.

Cheers,
David.

You don't have much to lose by sending an email.  If it would require a long 
email that would take you a fair amount of time to write, you might write a 
short one just asking if they'd be willing to read your longer one if you 
composed / sent it.

Back in my working (for pay) days, I was quite often gratified by the responses 
I got from some companies to my letters or emails requesting assistance 
without a contractual relationship.  Notably (I won't remember them all), but 
DEC (Digital Equipment) and Rockwell Automation.

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

I take it that you edited in the passphrase, and iwd wrote
the PreSharedKey into the file itself?

Where did you get the number 115 from?

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).

It's claimed that iwd only configures IPv6 if you have

[Network]
EnableIPv6=true

in /etc/iwd/main.conf.

Cheers,
David.

Yes, before I submitted my post to lists.debian.org, I changed my passphrase to aquickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog

My dear David, I plucked it out of thin air. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa?? I could have just typed 130 instead of 115.....

Yes, I think ArchLinux's wiki mentions that starting with iwd's version 0.9, the latter can do DHCP...

That's absolutely correct. In fact according to the same ArchLinux's wiki, with iwd, support for IPv6 is disabled by default.

I expected that. I was only confirming that you didn't write the PSK,
but only the passphrase. iwd then fills it in. Speaking of which, I'm
not sure what is meant (in the wiki) by "connect" in "The pre-shared
key will be appended to the file at the first connect". Does this mean
when one commands iwctl, or when the SSID is seen.

In which case, is the 30 made up. We just don't know whether the PC is
on the same network as the router yet. And I don't have experience of
setting up a static network without the router's cooperation on
choosing addresses.

Per your suggestion, I created a file main.conf in /etc/iwd/ and typed in the words:

[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true

and saved it.

Next I removed the following lines from /var/lib/iwd/whitecollar.psk as you have suggested:

[IPv4]
Address=192.168.30.115
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.30.1
Broadcast=192.168.30.255
DNS=8.8.8.8

and saved the changes.

After a reboot, I typed the following word at the command prompt:

iwctl

Next, I typed

station wlan0 show

The output was: No device found

Try 

ip link show

and look for the name of a device which could be your wifi NIC.

Nope, ip link show does not show up any device which is my wifi NIC

Then the kernel is not recognizing it. Can you spot it in either
lspci 

or 

lsusb

and tell us the hardware?
