Further to my longer reply on this list, there are three separate network configuration & management services that can be running at the same time on a debian systemOn Sat, Aug 27, 2022 at 11:55:44AM -0000, Curt wrote:On 2022-08-27, Jeremy Ardley <jeremy@ardley.org> wrote:I'd appreciate any suggestions about how to diagnose or cure the problem.

This is only an observation and not a criticism of any kind.There are different flavours around. I'm more the ifupdown type. When I see Network Manager, I run away. When I see systemd... no, I don't see systemd. Then there's the NM flavour. Then, the systemd-networkd flavour.
* networking.service * systemd-networkd.service * NetworkManager.service The usual mode of operation under systemd has * networking.service always enabled * NetworkManager.service is usually enabled by default * systemd-networkd.service may or may not be enabled by default, but usually has no meaningful configurationMy experience is to leave networking.service handling loopback and then have either systemd-networkd.service to manage the more complex stuff, or have NetworkManager.service do this.
It's really bad news to have both NetworkManager.service and systemd-networkd.service trying to work at the same time.
If you have a laptop and/or wireless connections and you are a relative newbie, use NetworkManager.service and NetworkManager GUI to control stuff and will mostly do what you want - but not always, and not transparently. You may find rebooting the system is the only way to fix problems.
If you want absolute reliable control then networking.service on its own is a good simple choice. As an alternative, systemd-networkd-service may give you more features and still be reliable.
