In slackware, the /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice script can be used to load the 
NIC modules you want to use into a specific order.  Other methods to do 
this are to use aliases in your modules.conf file for your particular 
distro.  

Visit  http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/NIC and 
http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap8sec88.html for some additional help.
