Given the myriad of successes in your 8+ decades, I'm baffled that you are continually flummoxed by fixed IP networking. Maybe it's because I only use X86 hardware, but DHCP is the only thing that has given me any trouble lately, and that's only because of a NIC driver that is apparently quite broken. Fixed IP here just continues to work as before. Could it be because I've been planting net.ifnames=0 on every cmdline since before Wheezy, along with 70-persistent-net.rules (which seems unnecessary any more), and a shared hosts file? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
