Eew. Debian already provides perfectly good infrastructure for
providing network settings. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address a.b.c.d
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast a.b.c.255
gateway a.b.c.1
(or whatever is appropriate). 'ifup eth0' will bring up and configure
the interface; this also happens automatically at boot time.
