Hi, 

Now the long answer.
I'm using a extra service (in boot) in witch you can choose with grub
and i thin lilo also witch kind of network you will start, with thoose
scripts you can change everything you can image.
Internal network, wireless, no netwerk and so on even the firwall
settings.
How it works:
/etc/init.d/netconfig 

this file is placed in the boot runlevel (rc-update add netconfig boot)
at boot time this script read the value of NetConfig=xxx in grub/lilo
and performs the right action. In my case eth0 or eth1. It just places a
symbolic link to  my /et/runlevels/default/net.eth0 so  eth0 start or
not. 
If you have any questions about it just send me a mail.
