after I enable networking- wired ethernet connection auto ethernernet active. Can this be set to always be active at startup?

Yes.
But how to do this differs between distros.
So tell us your distro (Eg Ubuntu 11.04, Fedora ... Etc)

Have a look in your menu to see if you can find a tool to configure services. This enables you to cancel unnecessary daemons (like a battery monitor on a desktop) and select those you need, like "networking" or "network manager".

Hi there,

Welcome to LQ!!

As I can understand your network card is not getting active automatically at the time of boot.

You can do the following:

1. Once you login to GUI at the top you will find System menu.
2. Click on that and navigate to Preferences | Network Connections.

There you will find option to automatically activate your ethernet connection at startup.
