I've seen the same on another box today, config files are updated. Here's the 
exact error message I got:

# LANG="" /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
* Bringing up interface eth0
/etc/init.d/net.eth0: line 510: _exists: command not found
*   ERROR: interface eth0 does not exist
*   Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your
hardware
* ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start

Does that mean I can just start it on my laptop (maybe after setting up 
wpa_supplicant for wireless) and I can then switch on/off wireless or plug/pull 
the cable from wired interface and it will automatically query the dhcp 
server? What if both interfaces are available (they sometimes disturb each 
other, because they get adresses from the same network)?
