Summary	0003314: /etc/network/interfaces missing eth0
Description	ifdown / ifup broken without interface config. While this is trivial, it may save people 5 mins of time not having to specifically add eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces if they do not use GUI config tools. Please add 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' to /etc/network/interfaces
Steps To Reproduce	Run ifup or ifdown.
Additional Information	I can fully understand if this behavior was by design.
