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. -- mike c
