Red faces here. Am multitasking at work and I appear to removed even my eth0 capability as I have no interfaces and Ceni has no interfaces.
How should I rebuild the /etc/network/interfaces file and with what permissions please?

make sure there is no softblock
sudo rfkill unblock all
then, launch ceni and try to connect to ethernet with it.

After that you should see in /etc/network/interfaces:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/network/interfaces
#
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Used by ceni but not by connman
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interfaces
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

If you need to edit the file, you need root privileges
sudo leafpad /etc/network/interfaces
