Tried "alias eth1 tulip' in /etc/modutils/aliases and did update-modules
to got /etc/modules.conf changed ("alias eth1 tulip" showed up).
Anyway,  the tulip still not up by doing that.   I have 

--------------------------------------------
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.2
	....
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
        address ....
---------------------------------------------

in /etc/network/interfaces
        

And,  Interl card is supported by kernel,  I am sure it is compiled
staticly, tho.

------------------------------------------------

eth0: Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100], 00:03:47:69:BE:22, IRQ 10.
  Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
