Debian has never put network interface device nodes in /dev. I don't know why you expected to see them there. If you want to learn the names of your network interfaces, there are several commands that may work: ip link netstat -in ifconfig -a On any given release or installed-instance of Debian, one or more of these may not be available, so learn 'em all. "ip link" is the preferred one these days, so I put it at the top of the list.
