Did that, and it improved things in that the interface is brought up
during boot with no manual intervention.  But it seems to have created
another problem.  Now during boot the loading of eth0 is marked FAILED.

Is this somehow a second attempt?  My ipcfg-eth0 file has DEFROUTE=no
but eth0 always comes up as the default route.  This is a nuisance, as
if I make a dial up connection to the internet, it doesn't work unless
I've done ifdown eth0 to get rid of the default to the wireless LAN.

List of ifcfg files:

ONBOOT=yes
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ESSID="000740DF1F86"
MODE=Managed
DEFROUTE=no
DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback

ip addr after ifdown eth0 and kppp connection to internet:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
     inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
     link/ether 00:07:40:c3:c5:d0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 3
     link/ppp
     inet 217.135.169.30 peer 195.92.168.23/32 scope global ppp0
