Silly Q about eth0 going down during boot

[I was not sure if it should go to "devel" or to "user", so I posted to
both; Sorry if this is wrong...]

Hi,

I've always used Morphix (0.5pre5) with a running DHCPD in the LAN, and
its networking has worked perfectly.

Yesterday I tried with no DHCP server. When I did it manually, either
by the "ifconfig" command, or by editing "/etc/network/interfaces" +
running "/etc/init.d/networking restart", it worked perfectly.

Then I tried to do it through a mini-module boot command (I don't know
the exact terminology, but I'm talking about the commands that Morphix
executes when it is loading a mini-module, which were defined by option
#2 of minimod-gen).

It didn't work by either of the ways (neither by the same ifconfig
command which worked manually, nor by changing /etc/network/interfaces
and restarting /etc/init.d/networking).

I went on, checked the interface, and found out that everything was
defined correctly, but "somebody" turned off eth0, so its definitions
were correct, but it was not active.

I checked further, by inserting logging into my script (the script that
was called in the initialization of my mini-module. This script had 2
versions: one with ifconfig, and the other with modifications to
/etc/network/interfaces + restarting of /etc/init.d/networking). I
logged the output of basic networking commands such as "ping", to a
temporary file.

In both of the versions of the script, the output of the logging was
perfect.

So the clear conclusion is that "somebody" screws it up (or, actually,
down...) after my script (i.e. my mini-module) is called.

How can I find the "criminal" scipt?  (or isn't it a script?)

Thanks,
