Thanks for the quick reply. It seems that all the upgraded systems use 
/etc/init.d/network, e.g.

#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=129.69.183.16
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=129.69.183.0
BROADCAST=129.69.183.255
GATEWAY=129.69.183.254
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1



Is the user supposed to migrate the settings manually from /etc/init.d/network 
to /etc/network/interfaces? If yes, this should be documented in the upgrade 
release notes.

Rainer.
