I tried to restart a couple things I found during my searches but most
of them no longer exist.  It seems they change names pretty often.  I've
tried to find anything that looks like network to restart but I can't
tell what is what.  I found out it has netplan installed.  I tried a few
things with it but thing is, since it shows as disabled, there's no
device to restart or even start to begin with. 

I looked, the modules are loaded.  I checked both cards and they are
there.  I used lspci -k to get the module names and then lsmod and grep
to see if they listed as loaded.

To be honest, the network has worked fine ever since the install.  Heck,
for a while, the NAS box didn't even have a monitor or keyboard.  I just
power it up, wait a little while, ssh in from my main rig.  From there I
could do anything I needed to.  This time, I had to drag out the monitor
and keyboard to see what is going on. 

I'm kinda stuck.  Since it doesn't work when booting the USB install
image, I can't even just reinstall and start over.  This is plenty odd.
