Solved.


Dropping the iwlwifi-8265-22.ucode (and -21.ucode just to be safe)

into /lib/firmware AND REBOOTING brought the system right into

functioning wifi networking.


The spurious -26, -25, -24, -23.ucode files that the network 
installation section

of the off-line 9.6 and 9.7 installs had requested; do not seem to be 
required.


Of course, /etc/apt/sources.list was still pointing at the cdrom 
repository and needed to be updated after everything was running to 
point to the stretch repositories.


Everything is running fine.

Thank you all.
