I had a similar experience. The installer identified the wireless card
as eth0 and the wired network interface on the motherboard as eth1. But
on rebooting, I had no net access, as they had become eth2 and eth3.
Ifconfig made clear what was happening, so a change to
/etc/network/interfaces and an /etc/init.d/networking restart made for a
quick fix, but this would have stumped a newbie.
It'd be really nice if the installer created /etc/iftab entries for the
identified network interfaces' MAC addresses so this didn't come up,
though it's probably far too late for Gutsy.
