RE: Which file do I use to configure networking these days?
Also you can install etherconf ( apt-get install ehterconf ) which will ask
questions and configure your /etc/networks/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf
for you.
If etherconf is already installed, dpkg-reconfigure etherconf seems to work
for me.

most of that is /etc/network/interfaces
to make an interface come up automatically put something like auto eth0
see the manpage for the rest. PCMCIA, i put this information
in that file as well, but there may be another pcmcia-related place in
addition to this file. if you only have PCMCIA(and on onboard ethernet or
something) I would put it in here.
