I resolved this by doing the following:

#1) Boot with pci=noacpi and irqpoll
#2) This will make your ethernet and USB drives work. You can then apt-get update and dist-upgrade to get the latest kernel.
#3) Restart, upgrade your BIOS to 1.70. This gets around a measure that forces pci=noacpi for BIOS version 1.60 which actually appears to make things worse.
#4) Restart, enjoy ethernet and USB.

I will post this on the Toshiba Tecra A4 page at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaTecraA4
