If this debian installation has seen more than one network card
installed in the past, the current card might be seen as eth1 or eth2.
To correct that, you can (as root):
rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and then reboot. That file is used to associate the mac address of a
network card with its "eth" designation. If you remove it, it will be
regenerated on reboot and network card naming will start again at eth0.
