Adrian -- please accept my apology for my rantings... They contribute nothing to the conversation, and as you note, irritate the very people in the best position to render needed assistance. Going back to a previous message you sent, you suggested looking at a few systemd network-related services: (1) systemd-networkd: this is currently showing "disabled" on my system (vendor preset: enabled). (2) resolver-related systemd services such as "resolvconf" and "systemd-resolved": "resolvconf" is "enabled", but "systemd-resolved" is "disabled" (vendor preset: enabled). None of the services mentioned above have any configuration files other than the defaults. So, I guess the main question on the table is, what's the best path forward to ensure network interfaces are brought up and configured automatically at boot time? Related to that question: is the use of "/etc/network/interfaces" deprecated? That's where my network configuration details currently exist, and that used to be sufficient, even after the migration from the old-style init program/scripts to "systemd". A sanitized copy of my current "interfaces" file is attached. Thanks in advance for the assist. --Bob
