   The Pi in question is running a default RasPiOS version. Systemd   
   shows up in dmesg output, but nothing from system-network.   
      
   Here's the experiment I'd like to try:   
      
   Right now, wlan0 comes up using DHCP and connects to my WiFi router,   
   giving the usual net connectivity, which I'd like to keep active.   
      
   At the same time, I'd like to enable a second connection using an   
   ethernet-to-WiFi bridge on eth0 using something like   
      
   auto eth0   
   iface eth0 inet static   
           address 192.168.1.8/24   
           gateway 192.168.1.254   
      
   Is that all it takes? Presently both /etc/network/interfaces   
   and /etc/network/interfaces.d are empty.   
      
   The plan is to bring up both interfaces, then turn off internal   
   WiFi to see if eth0 is working. Both use the same default route.   
   I'm simply trying to figure out if the bridge and its antenna can   
   be situated for better throughput than the Pi4 internal antenna.   
      
   Thanks very much for posting!
