After contemplation, my reply is:
I have just installed Stretch on a laptop, used the net install image
and used the wireless connection instead of the Ethernet.
It left me with a very bare bones /etc/network/interfaces which was to
be expected, having run into this before:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system #
and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
Source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
That was all, I had to enter:
# The primary network interface
# allow-hotplug eth0
iface enp5s0 inet dhcp
# The primary network interface
# allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlp6s0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid xxxxx
wpa-psk xxxxxxxx
I don't allow hotplugging of anything, for various reasons, needing no
explanation here.
I used the "eth0" and "wlan0" for old times sake. [laughing]
Then used;
ifup wlp6s0
in a terminal, which is the way I always bring up the internet.
Hope that helps, though it might be a bit primitive.
