That's a very old article you're referring to Hamed (circa 2007)...
perhaps these might be more relevant:-
http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration

While it does have some useful articles - don't confuse the domain name
with the official Debian site, debian.org, which is usually the best
source of relevant documentation.
