once you have added an iface entry for your eth0 (wired) interface, you
can turn it on by command

ifup eth0

or automatically at boot time if you also have

auto eth0

line there.  regarding configuration wireless interface, i'm using wicd
package:

deb http://apt.wicd.net lenny extras

wicd can also handle your wired ethernet.
