Funny thing is - that's very close to what it is:
aylee:~# less /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.100.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.100.0
broadcast 192.168.100.255
gateway 192.168.100.100
I ended up getting the interface up by doing:
aylee:~# ifconfig -eth0 192.168.100.1
because not even ifup/down was seeing it.
