I had only 1 nic defilned in Hardy with choices of a static IP address and DHCP, set up with the old network manager. Here is the contents of interfaces.dpkg-old, which I assume is my old interfaces file. There are no blank lines and only 1 static IP nic is listed.

netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
