If anyone of the following isn't right, it won't be automagic.
The loopback is typically configured in /etc/network/interfaces:
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
This is the config file for the ifup/ifdown utilities.
Typically, `ifup -a` would be called at boot time to bring the interfaces
up.
/etc/rcS.d/S40networking is a link to /etc/init.d/networking on my system.
/etc/init.d/networking must be executeable.
