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.
