eth0 config

[Ron Smith]

It looks reasonable if your goal is to use DHCP and to start it 
manually when you want to use it (not automatically on boot). Using 
this configuration the system will not have the annoying delay during 
boot when it is not attached to a network, then to start the network 
you just:

	/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up

to start the network. You need to be root to start the network.
