For the Debian newbies out there... (complaints from others to
/dev/null please) the equivalent is to either edit
"/etc/network/interfaces" -- RTFM "interfaces" and "ifup"; it's a very
simple and easy to learn syntax -- or to install "etherconf" and then
run "dpkg-reconfigure -plow etherconf" (the standard dpkg-reconfigure
recipe we all know and love) when you need to make changes.  If you
have the "configlets" installed, there's one for etherconf that will
show up in the Gnome control panel under the "Debian" heading.
