6.1.0 was replaced by 6.2.1. After reboot my wireless connection no
longer worked "deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)". Also
disabling IPv6 did not help.

After downgrade back to 6.1.0 it worked again.

In the Archlinux forum some other users confirmed the behaviour, also
for wired connection: See:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177017

Could you please look into the issue? Is there more information you
would need?

Interesting.
Can you post some dhcpcd syslog messages as well please? A clue will probably be found there.

Also, can you test the latest code in the fossil repository? You can download a tarball here:

Thanks
