One follow-up question comment on this:

So I modified the /etc/network/interfaces and I still have trouble with the
Ethernet coming up reliably. Am I alone in this?  It will come up after a
reboot if I manually brought it up before the reboot, but not after power
has been removed and reinserted.

To remedy the problem I had to put in a script that runs late at start up
that executes /etc/init.d/networking restart
