Description

### Problem
No network access after completing guide.
The guide uses Debian Jessie, but starting from Stretch there is a different interface naming scheme. Other distro's also have alternative interface names.

### Suggested Fix
Add a final note to replace with the correct interface in /etc/network/interfaces and turn off Auto-configure Networking in the Configuration Profile
