I have a box that is supposed to run headless.When I boot and manually run /etc/init.d/networking everything starts fine.When I add it to  my startup scripts (/etc/rcS.d) as placed by sysv-rc-conf the network starts up OK. ifconfig shows everything is working right, except for some reason there is no IP assigned to the interface.PS: These are statically assigned addresses. 
Networking starts up but interface has no IP
init script
