I do not see a entry for the eth0 adapter here...
It's the default for your wired network,
here are my current interfaces

/auto lo eth1 eth1:1

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth1 inet static
	address 192.168.0.7
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 192.168.0.255
	network 192.168.0.0

iface eth1:1 inet static
	address 192.168.1.7
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 192.168.1.255
	network 192.168.1.0
	gateway 192.168.1.254

/This is for two ip addresses on one addapter, and the sole purpose of this is to get the network going without GUI. I also split the router to another network range (makes it more difficult to get a working internet connection in the office :) )
For auto ip you'll replace static with dhcp and leave the rest out... you can google this. this file also overrides the network manager in GUI if setup like this.

Maybe google a bit about the settings you need.

  When working on a computer you have to know enough:
  To fake what you don't know.
  Google what you can't fake.
  How (and when) to 'motivate' the computer to do what Google won't tell.
