You forgot. :)
Is it onboard or a PCMCIA card? If it's a PCMCIA card the problem could be that the module isn't being loaded before ifup gets called. If that's the case you'll probably want to set up hotplug to automatically configure the interface (by running ifup) when the card is detected.
This is what I need to do, as it's a pcmcia card. Now as to how.
If it's an onboard network device, you'll want to check /etc/network/interfaces and make sure that the appropriate eth entry (most likely eth0) is marked 'auto'. It should look something like this: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
Yes, that entry is there. -ste
