   Hi,   
      
   I have a Debian 9 netbook here.  Because I have an unusual setup here, I need   
   to use manual IP address configuration.  I used the default network manager to   
   setup the static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the wifi interface.  When I start   
   the system, all works fine, and the correct IPs and routing information as I   
   setup via the GUI are in place.   
      
   However, when there's a network upset (most probably due to the router   
   rebooting, or some other wifi disturbance), the static IPs are gone and are   
   replaced by a DHCP assigned IPv4 address.  This causes a number of issues,   
   breaking connectivity with the BBS that is running on the system.   
      
   In the good old days, I'd have done a total manual configuration, and this   
   would have stuck, but I decided to use the tools provided for 2 reasons:   
      
   1.  To work with the new ways of doing things, rather than figting the system.   
      
   2.  To simplify the configuration of the wifi (i.e. not having to mess around   
   with wpa-supplicant directly).   
      
   Anyone seen this behaviour?  And better still, anyone have a solution?
