Try installing ifplugd, and see if that works. That should
automatically configure itself to start when the computer is booting,
and it should try to automatically connect you to your wired network.
If that doesn't work then you could always try the default networking
way (Which I don't have much knowledge on, I'm still new to Debian),
and it should configure your network upon boot as well.
