On slink it's /etc/init.d/network, which is set up nicely IFF you identify and configure your network card during installation. A fairly standard example is attached; if you don't have one customise this one then place it in /etc/init.d and run # chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/network # update-rc.d network start 40 S .
