Does anyone know anything about how to configure this for a static
address for my Raspberry Pi?
With the latest version of Raspbian [Stretch] They have changed the way
that the network is configured. In the old system I used to paste in my
two standard files [Interfaces & wpa_supplicant.conf] and away it went.

Any ideas welcome. The R-Pi forums haven't been much use.
Have you seen this one:
https://lb.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=192314
The default names for the interfaces changed with Stretch so re-using an old
set of files won't work.
I had to do it fairly recently (definitely with Stretch) and I had to make the
static IP Address declaration in dhcp.conf, if I recall. I can't remember
what else I changed, but I used the instructions that I found on the Internet.
I note that the Tutorials at 'ModMyPi' are now years out of date and still use
the interfaces file to set the IP Address.
This appears to be the most recent posting that I could find:
https://lb.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=205276
1. Most tutorials are now out of date, it seems.
2. This is the second time that I have seen that the interface name is
redefined into something containing the MAC address rather than eth0 etc
that we are used to.
3 I have re-read this one and it looks like in the last section I can
disable DHCP and revert to the mode of operation that I am used to. It's
two years old though.

I'll give it a whirl, but it does mean that I have to get it working in
order to ssh into it and change the files.
Till then...
