Hi, thanks for the quick reply.  I will accept that I'm off the map at
this point and will just learn how to set this up via NM, but
README.Debian says:

---===
You can tell NetworkManager to read and use the network configuration
from /etc/network/interfaces by editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
and changing the configuration as follows:

  [ifupdown]
  managed=true
===---

"use the network configuration" says, to me, that the fact that eth0
is configured as a static IP in /e/n/i should be respected. Up until
this most recent reboot, that is how it worked.
