Tried to run one of the above commands:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/dev/null --no-hosts --keep-in-foreground --bind-interfaces --except-interface=lo --clear-on-reload --strict-order --listen-address=192.168.224.27 --dhcp-range=192.168.224.36,192.168.224.254,60m --dhcp-lease-max=50 --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-enp2s0.leases --pid-file=/run/nm-dnsmasq-enp2s0.pid --conf-dir=/etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-shared.d

and after entering the password I get this:

dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.224.27: Address already in use

so this has to get started as part of the network setup, or be started
by network manager.  Why is it not doing it any more?  Did some config
get obliterated? What changed?  Any hints on what to check?

Thanks.
