But eth0 is not the device I'm using: the device I'm using as an ethernet port
is eth1, but it doesn't appear in dmesg nor in lspci output: this is
/etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
        address 192.168.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
