Unable to Install Toshiba Tecra A4?

[Celso Pinto]

Hi Greg,

please try the following solution, as IIRC, Colony3 has a broken ifrename
package:

- execute sudo update-rc.d -f ifrename remove
- reboot
- your network should be up and running without any glitches

In any case, please send me your /etc/iftab file.

Cheers,
Celso
