/etc/network/interfaces makes it pretty easy. With dhcp-client
installed, make sure that /etc/network/interfaces contains the following
two lines:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
'ifup eth0' and 'ifdown eth0' will then bring the interface up and down
respectively, and the interface will be brought up at boot-time.
