Bug Description

when changing net configuration with network-tool, /etc/network/interfaces file
get changed and becomes unusable. /etc/init.d/networking script fails to start &
stop and ifup <iface> fails due to few parameters.
I noticed interfaces file misses "static" option on the "iface eth0 inet" line.
I've only an eth0 with static IP and lo.
