I'd configured my network devices manually for 10 years.  I only went to NM when I couldn't make roaming work otherwise.

Doesn't matter what I say.  I've asked and asked here, to no avail.  So I switched back to manual, and now -that's- not working.  I can associate with:
# wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -dd
... but the interface will not come up with its static IP.  No idea.  It's broken.

Clearly no one here will help, so it doesn't matter what I say.
