The ethernet is a strange problem, nothing Freenet touches could do something like that but it sounds like the system isn't actually starting with ethernet plugged in, perhaps it is trying to netboot for some reason.
Your shutdown issue is actually expected behavior, the shutdown button only stops Freenet once, it does not prevent it from starting itself when your computer reboots, which is something controlled by the OS itself and not the Freenet code. To stop that behavior so that freenet only starts when you want it to, you need to delete a file: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.freenet.startup.plist. It may actually be in the LaunchDaemons directory, but that is what causes freenet to autostart on Mac with each reboot. There may also be a cron job, check with crontab -l in a terminal.
