I am trying to set a static IP on my new BBB. The instructions I found here

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Terminal_Shells

say 'modify your /etc/network/interfaces, or make a new file.'

I downloaded the file at

https://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.09.04.img.xz

and the flash worked, but now the /etc/network/interfaces file is gone. I 
made a new one. It looks like this:

root@beaglebone:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
iface eth0 inet static
 address 192.168.7.4
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 gateway 192.168.7.1

(I added the gateway line when it didn't work without it.) 

I can still get to my board via USB, which is fine as a backup, but for my 
application i need to get a static IP over eth0. Is Angstrom not using 
/etc/network/interfaces anymore? My network is set up to use 192.168.7.*. 

If I can't use that file how do I set a static IP?
