I'm not sure, whether this is actually an error message. It looks more like an informational one to me ...

I'd try this: sysv-rc-conf networking off more on that: http://wolfgangpfeiffer.com/foolinglinux.html#rc But I'm not sure, because I just realized my networking routines, here on Debian/unstable, seem to react weird: # ifdown eth0 ifdown: interface eth0 not configured But when running 'ifconfig', eth0 still is showing up ... so you might want having a look to the scripts in /etc/init.b/ or in /etc/rcX.d if the 'sysv-rc-conf' incantation does not help ...
