configuring multiple NIC's at boot



When I got DSL, I had a problem with my two NICS's. Things would usually end up with the NIC's being assigned the wrong addresses. What I did to correct this mess was to have the DSL modem's NIC get configured in /etc/init.d/local.


What is the best way to avoid this type of problem? BTW, the internal network's NIC is a 3Com and I compiled the kernel with support for that NIC, but the DSL NIC is a Kingston card and uses the Tulip driver, which I did not compile into the kernel (this is the card that gets configured from /etc/init.d/local



thanks
