Sorry, I thought that my statement about just entering info during the first
installation would supply the requested information. Here is a bit more
detail, formatted as a response to

I'm not sure what details are needed. I input the information once, long ago,
telling debian to use DHCP on eth0. I have not touched anything
network-related since then. If you have a specific question in mind, please
let me know and I'll try to answer it.

I have no idea. I boot the system, and it works. I know that sounds snide and
like I'm being an idiot, but it's the truth: once I had input the information
when first installing debian, it all just worked and I never had to know
anything about what debian was doing under the hood. Whatever the default was
prior to stretch, I assume that that's what I was using.
(The version of debian on the system has always been plain debian stable,
whichever version was the official stable at the time.)

Now that eth0 is working properly, I can provide the output from nmcli without
having to type it all :-) :
