I've just installed Debian 7.5.0 amd netinst.
Actually I am trying to install the firmware through aptitude install firmware-linux-nonfree
When I executed ifconfig and ifconfig -a, the output indicates only the loopback no eth0 interface. However the Ethernet card and WLAN card are pretty detected, I checked it through lspci and both cards appear.
I edited /etc/network/interfacesl by adding DHCP but it was in vain.

You may have to manually add the interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces
. To see what network interfaces your system has detected look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
. Any interfaces detected will be identified by NAME=
Add the interface names to /etc/network/interfaces
as such:
auto eth1 # eth1 is an example name
iface eth1 inet dhcp
Then use ifup
to bring up the new interface
$ sudo ifup eth1
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is a new file in my case

I solved the problem for myself after months of hair pulling. Go to update manager at the top click on view. Select the kernel version at the bottom of the list which for me was 4.4.0-78 but for some it will be some version above 4.8. Click on install. I still have a lo and a Wlan0 showing in ifconfig but I now have an Eth0 showing. I unplugged the WiFi dongle and lo and behold I now have wired inter-net; eureka. With the wireless dongle out of course there is now no Wlan0.
