In my testing from stretch there was no traditional networking there which makes networking a difficult transition. But I wasn't aware of this particular issue.
I've made a note just now that manual network configuration is a requirement when working remotely, and updated the manual network configuration page. I'll also create update the website in a moment and make the merge request. Please would translators hold off on those pages for now or update them if you've already done the work. Sorry for the inconvenience.
