Sounds like a great plan....errr....I don't have an /etc/sysconfig  and I
can't find any ifcfg-eth1 or eth0 on my system.

narwhale:/home/mark# ls /etc/sys*
/etc/sysctl.conf  /etc/syslog.conf

/etc/sysctl.d:

narwhale:/home/mark# locate ifcfg
narwhale:/home/mark#

Perhaps Debian testing puts this in another location?

Thanks!
