most of that is /etc/network/interfaces
to make an interface come up automatically put something like
auto eth0
see the manpage for the rest. PCMCIA, i put this information
in that file as well, but there may be another pcmcia-related
place in addition to this file. if you only have PCMCIA(and on
onboard ethernet or something) I would put it in here.
