Well, 'ifconfig' definitely lists lo as up, and certainly wlan0 is up by
the time I log in -- my dotfiles attempt to kinit geofft from a keytab and
aklog, and the first step succeeds. I used wireless-tools-udeb in d-i as
described in <http://geofft.mit.edu/blog/post/109>, which caused
/etc/network/interfaces to magically know about wireless. I've attached it
in case you're curious.
If it's relevant, this is a system with nothing installed in the d-i
tasksel screen, and a subset of debathena-standard.
