John, You seem to have had some bad luck there! I did the Squeeze to Wheezy upgrade and it went so smoothly! Luck of the draw I guess

Hi Andy,

thanks for pointing that out - I must have had an old config, or it was overwritten - not sure.

ifupdown was not installed; installing that fixed it persistently across reboots.

Now I'm just struggling with lighttpd untraceably refusing to start up, but that's something I'm leaving for another day.  If I'd known an upgrade would cause this many problems....when will you start supporting FreeBSD?  :-)

Best regards, and many many thanks again for your patience and help.  I hope the solutions to all my missteps help someone else at some point.
