I found the long cat-5 cable and plugged in. Maybe I wasn't patient enough, but the interface didn't come up on its own. It was suitably checked, and DHCP was selected. I can bring it up with sudo ifconfig eth0 down followed by ...up , but I also have to bring the wireless down with ifconfig before the routing gets changed to use the wired (I have a slide switch to shut off WiFi, again, maybe I didn't wait long enough). I'm not sure what to try in order to confirm what. I can cycle things in various ways if it helps in the search (though this will be my last playing for about 18 hours). Just make a detailed suggestion.
