The /etc/init.d files that have been migrated to upstart have been
moved to /etc/init and replaced by a symlink in /etc/init.d to
/lib(init/upstart-job.

You can start/stop /etc/init.d scripts with invoke-rc.d or service and
/etc/init scripts with initctl (or the start and stop symlinks to it)
or service.

(By the way, if you are using NM, you will have to stop and start
networking using network-manager and not networking.)
