Then, please, explain clearly what is "networkmangler", what is
"/e/n/i", and what particular evidences you have that namely
"networkmangler" overwrites "/e/n/i".
=NetworkManager overwrites /etc/network/interfaces. Sheesh, part of the
"slang-guage" for decades.
MetworkManager has well earned that alias. I have made it a habit to
remove the x attribute of that headache. Funny thing, even as far back
as wheezy, absolutely nothing had the chutzpah to log it wasn't
executable. Its gradually been made remove-able but early on removing it
tore down the system to where it could only be re-installed from the
install cd's. It was a solution to a problem we never had unless you
were carrying a lappy into ever library on the planet.
I am not familiar with QIDI, kiauth.sh, and similar 3rd party stuff.
What I see in your messages are false claims, e.g. that DHCP addresses
are unstable. DHCP servers *may* be configured to assign fixed addresses
to particular clients.
My ISP does that, so my exterior net address has been stable for over a
decade, but I've tried it 2-3 times in the 2000's and got unstable
addresses from the distro versions of dhcp every time.
My ISP gives the router a stable address because its linked to the MAC
of the router, so while I have 2 interchangeable routers, the backup has
cloned its MAC to match, so my net cost to run a web page on this
machine is the namecheap 5 year fee of $20 the last time I paid it. But
the whole, several gigabyte page was lost a year ago when two quite new,
2T seagates went tits down in the night within 2 days of each other, one
was my boot drive, the other vtapes from Amanda. That was the last straw
and today 8 machines here have only 2 spinning rust drives remaining.
They will be replaced with SSD's when I bring those buster machines up
to bookworm or Trixie.
