Interesting. Looking at /etc/init.d/networking, it logs a message
saying "Configuring network interfaces..." and then runs ifup... But
maybe I'm just confused.
Anyway, here's ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8D:7E:90:D7

And this is very strange - /etc/iftab seems to have disappeared. I know it
used to exist on the system; I remember editing it a few weeks ago. This
problem started happening when I dist-upgraded to edgy. If having that file
missing would cause this, maybe one of the packages accidentally deleted the
iftab file?
