Last question first: network-admin and it should be in /usr/bin

As for the first question, I've nuked my interfaces file a couple of
times. The easiest thing I've found is to eliminate the file or rename
it interfaces-nuked and use the network-admin program to start afresh.
It will set up a fresh interfaces file as you use it.

With best regards,

Pete

Unfortunately I'm not at my home computer right know, so I can't check, but
there's no need to anyway, because a little bit of Googling turned it up:

http://david.decotigny.free.fr/libre/ibook2-debian/etc/network/interfaces

You need at least this I believe:

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

In Feisty it's in xubuntu-system-tools:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=xubuntu-system-toolssearchon=namessubword=1version=allrelease=all
Gutsy, for now, uses gnome-system-tools:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=gnome-system-toolssearchon=namessubword=1version=gutsyrelease=all

But that will be replaced by network-manager.

Hi,
What is the default interfaces content, in xubuntu, in order to 
restore it?
Because I've put the mess in it.
I would like it to be compliant with the graphical network manager in 
xubuntu.
