On Debian an example /etc/network/interfaces stanza would be.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
post-up ifconfig $IFACE txqueuelen <size>
You will want to have a file resource for the /etc/network/interfaces
file and you will want to notify the networking service on changes.
(OS will not read this file unless you ifup and ifdown the interface,
thats why the networking service must be restarted.)
