I just checked that man page on wheezy, jessie and stretch, and no 
examples are found using "netmask 24"
address 192.168.##.##/24 is supposed to be understood as netmask 
255.255.255.0, and has worked here forever. And remains in the man 5 
interfaces page.

And has Just Worked, until now with stretch.

Normally used to expand the verbosity.  Not all of these utility's 
understand multiples means noisier. And it does not cause the called 
functions to inherit the -v, so you get no feedback from them. IMO thats 
wrong, and the -vv SHOULD cause the listed subcalls to get a -v 
invocation. But I'm not steering this ship called Linux, so my voice is 
carried away by the wind.

Also, I haven't ever seen an official definition of "CIDR", so its 
possible I need tutoring on that. IMO any man page that uses an acronym, 
needs to include its definition.

Will have to be done from its own keyboard unless a ; to separate them.

That gets me:

and it all works again, with:
route -n

Thats from stretch on arm64/rock64. While booting to the armbian image 
only, debian-arm fails to set a gateway, and so does raspian. I half 
expected it not to boot raspian since the architecture was so different 
from the raspi 3b.

And they do seem to be gory, almost looks as if its looping, but not 
quite.

Maybe its time we let this thread die, it is working now, as I have other 
hardware problems to deal with ATM. With shipping delays delays from the 
Chinglish writers, till around thanksgiving here in the yuuh ess aye. 
Needless to say I've ordered spares.

Thanks Reco.
