What you really want is ifplugd.

apt-get ifplugd. Be sure to edit the /etc/defaults/ifplugd file, and add 
your ethernet device to INTERFACES.

"ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet 
device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if 
the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with on-board network 
adapters, since it will only configure the interface when a cable is 
really connected. "
