interfaces deprecated - dhcpcd.conf not filling role?

I've been trying to work through this all night, to no avail. I'm about ready to move back to Jessie.

Essentially, I'm trying to setup an auto-ppp interface (like I've done many times in Jessie) and usually, I'll just set this inside my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto gprs
iface gprs inet ppp
provider gprs

However, I'm reading that in Stretch, interfaces is now obsolete. This poses a problem as now I cannot setup my interface and have it start automatically within dhcpcd.conf.

I feel as if I'm missing something - but I'm not sure what.

The end of my dhcpcd.conf:

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.0.1/24
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8

interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.1.155/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8

I see, so is my best option here just to remove those two hooks and (10-wpa_supplicant) and continue to use the old /etc/network/interfaces? – Ryan B Nov 15 '17 at 02:17
Depends what else you have. There is another option, include denyinterfaces gprs in dhcpcd.conf (assuming the interface is still gprs under predictable network interface names ) See https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/74905/8697 – Milliways Nov 15 '17 at 03:00

Stretch - etc/network/interfaces deprecated - dhcpcd.conf not filling role?
