You just need to set up the file

/etc/network/interfaces
( see man interfaces )

Here is one example (dhcp)

# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet static
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
# automatically added when upgrading
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

The same with static 

# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet static
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
# automatically added when upgrading
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.0.10
       netmask 255.255.255.0

It is also possible to use debconf (forgot how...)

JPS.
