it is actually /etc/network/interfaces on my box:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


this is also probably why I keep seeing errors about unable to set the system 
clock via ntp. no network=no ntp
