Known modconf bug.

That's because /etc/init.d/network is not used anymore,
/etc/init.d/networking runs ifup -a which reads
/etc/network/interfaces.
I wonder that you had a file /etc/init.d/network at all... hmm... that
shouldn't be there.

Try 'ifup -a' instead or run /etc/init.d/netowkring.
For the purposes of this bug report, we're going to ignore the 2nd
half of the report since (a) talking about two bugs in one report is
bad, and (b) it maybe pilot errror.
