I sincerely doubt they would ever move net/if.h --- it would break too many 
compilations.  Indeed, here I have:

esben@mosegris:~$ locate */if.h
/usr/include/linux/if.h
/usr/include/net/if.h

Searching for where I got those 2 files from gets me:

esben@mosegris:~$ dpkg -S /usr/include/net/if.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/net/if.h

esben@mosegris:~$ dpkg -S /usr/include/linux/if.h
linux-libc-dev: /usr/include/linux/if.h

I suspect that you are missing a libc6-dev package or similar. Try looking for 
the file in your distribution's package search facility.
