personally, I don't like the debian networking scripts/files
I find this much easier to use one file...
http://galis.org/scripts/networking-local
edit to suite, put it in your /etc/init.d and use update-rc.d to populate
the runlevels, also remove 'networking' from the runlevels and /etc/rcS.d
(it requires the iproute package)
