I think this should be set up in /etc/network/interfaces. Here is what I
have in this file (comments snipped):
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
If this does not work for you then you can try to change the eth0 part
to
auto eth0
#allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
