Thanks Greg for the detailed tutorial on what netmask is and does.

I confirm that /etc/network/interfaces has been correctly configured because I am able to use a wired LAN connection to sudo apt upgrade and what not.

Thanks again for the detailed explanation about what NM does. However according to the tutorials that I read on the internet, NM and wpasupplicant must be uninstalled prior to installing the package iwd.

What did you mean by "installation task sets"? Did you mean the tasksel stage of the installation process where we get to choose to install a Gnome DE, KDE DE, LXQT DE etc?
