ubuntu upgrade broke network connectivity

ifconfig showed eth0 wasn't in the list.

From http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html

sudo kile /etc/network/interfaces

Add the following (actually, this is all it was):

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.64
gateway 192.168.1.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255

Restart via:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


The original attempt to get auto assignment failed.
