Ah, oh, that will need a little more memory in my head.

I got
### etherconf DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.99
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.100
### END OF DEBCONF AREA. PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED.
Now after deleting the file an running etherconf it's the same but with
the additional line
broadcast 192.168.0.255
and the right, new value for gateway.
