Ok, I've solved the problem.

I created a the file tulip in /etc/modprobe.d like Paul suggested:

options tulip options=5,5

After that both nic's where configured correctly by running

modprobe tulip

You are right!

To apply the changes to the initramfs you have to run:

update-initramfs -u

This will update the changes from /etc/modprobe.d
to the initramfs.
