Add something like this to /etc/network/interfaces for DHCP:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
OR for static:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
The key is the "auto" keyword which tells it to come up on boot.

It should just work as part of the device config up there, but if it doesn't,
as root:
# route add default gw 192.168.0.1 (or whatever your gateway is)

edit /etc/resolv.conf and add:
