I too have found tracing the networking scripts confusing but to the best
of my knowledge there is no great documentation on this. I really like
netconf which, I believe to be a bit of Linuxconf, for configuring
things. I've never run it under X but at the command line, it's curses-based.
I had a similar thing happen to me where networking was delayed and when it
booted, I had no nic driver module loaded. But when I loaded it manually,
I could ifup-eth0 just fine. It turned out that I had specified the module
name as 'tulip.o' instead of 'tulip'.
