That's right. Seems that network interfaces don't have a device
files. You just have to configure your network interfaces with
/sbin/ifconfig (of course, the driver for your network card has to be
loaded). Debian provides a nice frontend for managing network
interfaces: Just write them to /etc/network/interfaces (see man
interfaces) and you can start/stop them with ifup/ifdown.
