Here's my /etc/init.d/network stripped of comments and some echo statements:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=198.187.226.21
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=198.187.226.0
BROADCAST=198.187.226.255
GATEWAY=205.242.10.253
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
This is the same format that is used on another system (also Debian)
that is working fine. The other system is Debian 1.2.whatever. With
pieces of 1.3.whoknows.

I like this idea! That and adding ifconfig at the end. They both should
be part of the file's default configuration.

We'll see how well those problems can hide now...
