Okay, for those of you who have iproute installed, you can still get things up and running using the ip tool. Like this: ip addr add 127.0.0.1 dev lo ip link set lo up ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo ip addr 10.66.2.150 dev eth0 ip link set eth0 up ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 dev eth0 metric 1 Change eth0 IP and default route as needed of course.
