The warning when running "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart":
"Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may
not enable again some interfaces ... (warning)."
"sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" only brings up NICs marked
"auto"/"allow-auto"; NICs marked "auto-hotplug" are ignored.
Comment out or delete "gateway 192.168.1.1" and run "ifup --verbose
eth0" or "ifup --verbose --allow=hotplug" to bring up eth0.
