I tried:

  auto lo eth0
  iface lo inet loopback
  iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.0.1
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      network 192.168.0.0
      gateway 127.0.0.1

but ifup -av gives:

  Configuring interface lo=lo (inet)
  run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
  ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up
  run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d
  Configuring interface eth0=eth0 (inet)
  run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
  ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0                  up
   route add default gw 127.0.0.1 eth0
  SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

I see this as wrong: route add default gw 127.0.0.1 eth0

I downloaded the source and read the docs, but didn't help.
