You should edit /etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces) and use the command
"ifup eth0" or "/etc/init.d/network start" the later probably being the
Debian way...? The "ifup" command configures the interface based on the
interfaces config file.
My dummy is still up along with eth0. I don't know if this is correct or
not, but it works. Is eth0 configured properly in /etc/network/interfaces?
