EDIT
sorry, removing the network card solved the problem. So I still have a problem (binding to the wrong interface??) but I will write that in a separate post when I've thought more about it.
I guess submitting a post helps me to think through a problem
can this post be deleted?

EDIT 2
For anyone who finds this -
I was losing all networking when second networking card was installed. It turns out that when a separate card is installed, the onboard interface changes name from enp3s0 to enp4s0. Editing /etc/networking/interfaces to reflect that and then service networking restart fixed it.
============================
Everything was going fine...then I followed these directions in an attempt to start the process of passing through my PCIe network card to a VM, and after rebooting I had lost all network.
After reverting all the changes, host still doesn't have access to any network, can't ping anything, can't be pinged.
