> Thanks William - I have just managed to get the network up using the
sequence:
ip link - which gave the new interface name.
Then using the new name:
ip link set enp0s25 up
ip addr add 10.0.0.10/24 dev enp0s25
ip route add default via 10.0.0.135

Then edited /etc/resolv.conf to get a working network.

However once I have completed the rest of the install and configuration I
want to have the network come alive with a static ip address at boot.

What is the current recommended best method?  Is it netcfg, ifplugd or
something else?  This will be a desktop that runs on its own in a
relative's home where there is only a single wired router.

Thanks for any advice.
