Another user here made a comment that clued me into what the problem
really was. I had done an update of Trixie which went fine. Then I
started to do something which I had been planning for a while - remove
the Cinnamon desktop. I was doing it piecemeal when seemingly the
internet dropped out. It did, because part of the removal process at
that point was to remove network-manager. Long story shorter, I
downloaded network-manager and it's dependencies, copied them over to
Debian and installed them . The net popped up .
Sorry for the noise all caused by operator error. Thanks to all who
responded. If I had kept my eyes open to what I was doing, there would
not have been
a problem.

Actually, it doesn't look good - you don't have any ip addresses on eno1,
the interface is down. You're going to have to find out why that is.
Since it's recognized, it was probably not configured.
Easiest: edit /etc/network/interfaces to include these lines for
eno1:
--
iface eno1 auto
iface eno1 inet dhcp
--
And then run
sudo ifup eno1
to get it running.
Didn't the initial message say that the Internet *was* working, and then
suddenly *stopped* working, right in the middle of a download?
That, together with the interface not being UP, points to the
configuration being OK, but something going wrong at the hardware or
kernel level, I think.
(Unless of course a configuration change was made during that download.)
