This is the live cd /etc/network.interfaces file here.
Covers all the potential interfaces. Are the appropriate modules loaded 
for your nic, firmware on latest Debin is separate, not sure about 
Ubuntu.

Try 'dhclient eth0' or other interfaces ,to see what happens.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
