If you provided a bit more detail it might make it easier to help you. 
I happen to run Debian systems myself, kinda bias to it being a Debian 
Developer.

As the other person stated /etc/init.d/networking is usually the SysV 
init script on Debian systems that fires up the networking but it does 
only perform what is configured within the /etc/network/interfaces file. 
It's highly unlikely as you stated this is an embedded system that it 
would utilize Network Manager in which case it would use an entirely 
different SysV init script and a separate configuration directory/file.
