That didn't work for me (I was having the same problem, but on a laptop). I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts so:
# Extra stuff to do after setting up the interface
# start_fn () { return; }
start_fn () { ifup $1; }
# Extra stuff to do before shutting down the interface
# stop_fn () { return; }
Oops - sorry - missed a line in my copy and paste:
stop_fn () { ifdown $1; }

Those lines appear at the end of the file.
