I haven't been active in Debian for two years back when Lenny was

also noticed the same for Ubuntu (which I don't use or could care
about) and am trying to understand what is the correct way now for
Debian and what changed? I did a search on Google but didn't turn up
any results.
Is it no longer correct to run:
*CODE*
/etc/init.d/network restart
If you use GNOME *and* you've installed NetworkMangler, then the
init.d script is probably recommended.
(Note that it's possible to remove NetworkMangler even if you use
GNOME, and thus safely use /etc/init.d/network.)
Many of us don't use GNOME and thus rely on /etc/init.d/network.
(Another note: Fedora 13 will introduce a CLI interface to
NetworkMangler using D-Bus. Their goal is that the code in the
current script interface will turn into D-Bus calls just as the GUI
NetworkMangler currently is. An interesting project.)
