Inspiron 8100 here running Debian stable. Put this into your
/etc/networking/interfaces:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Ethernet Card (Adresse von Pfau)
# (Netz AET)
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 123.456.789.100
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 123.456.789.1
			
# WLAN-Karte 
#auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
      hostname host.on-wlan.comorg
				
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, replace values with your settings.

The NIC is allways configured at boot time, the wlan (pcmcia)-card
only, when put in.
