Thank you Neil, I just tried netplug and indeed behaves the same as ifplugd - 
one has to start the interface before netplug will configure a connection.

Interestingly, there is a difference between netplug and ifplugd.  ifplugd 
when started by hand, will initialise and configure a NIC.  netplug will not.  
It requires that the interface has been enabled before it does anything.
