Cut /etc/network/interfaces down to the lo stanza
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Remove EVERYTHING else.
Use Network Manager / nmtui / nmcli to build back what you need slowly
If you have interfaces mentioned in /etc/network/interfaces - the old way -
you will face problems.
Hand editing the files is probably not the way to do this any more.
