This isn't an actual command. You probably mean 'apt-get dist-upgrade -u'.
The important information is what that command printed out. It shows
you what it changed on your system, and you need to pay attention so
that you know what happened!

No, but that gives me a guess as to what your problem might be.

That sounds good.
The ifupdown package changed some details regarding the format of the
/etc/network/interfaces file. I don't know if this was a
potato->woody change or a slink->potato change. The difference is
whether or not interfaces are automatically brought up. On my
woody/sarge/sid systems I have an "auto <name>" line for each
interface I want automatically brought up. Thus the file looks like
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
If you are lacking the 'auto' line then that is why your network isn't
available after a reboot.

Use 'dpkg -l' to find out whether or not you have a given package
installed.
