I think its been found, but no clue how to fix.  According to route -n, 
no gateway is being assigned, and of course its not going to get out 
of my local network w/o it.

root@rock64Sheldon:/etc/network/interfaces.d# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     202    0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     202    0        0 eth0
192.168.71.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
(
But, the assignment is there in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0:
=================
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.71.2/24
gateway 192.168.71.1
==================

So wth am I doing wrong, or have I found a bug?

Thanks Alan.
