| Don't use ifconfig :) Yes it's hard to get debian's magic not to use
| it, but if you need to bring it up right now(tm), use the ip tool.
| 
| ip addr ls
| ip link set lo up
| ip addr add 192.168.0.55/24 dev eth0
| ip route add default via 192.168.0.1
| etc...

| If this doesn't work either, then something is seriously afoul :(
