If you add a line:
        auto eth0
        
Then it will come up on reboot too (or when you do an
/etc/init.d/networking start|restart)

Even cooler, you can add stanzas in that file and instead of giving it
the name eth0 you can use a name like "work" e.g.

        iface work inet dhcp

and

        iface home inet static
                address 10.0.0.1
                ...etc...
        
Which means you can do

        ifup eth0=work

and it will bring up the work definition and

        ifup eth0=home

and it will bring up the home definition.

Cool!
