Yup.

Nope. They're still created.
You need to load your ethernet module (add it to /etc/modules or use
modprobe by hand), then you need to add a section to /etc/network/interfaces
for the new interface, then you run 'ifup <interface>', or
'/etc/init.d/networking [re]start'
see 'man interfaces' for more about the interfaces file layout.
