  ??? If it works, it's the right place. :)
  I don't actually remember where the ifconfig/dhcpcd script went, but
IIRC /etc/conf.modules would work for:

alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300

and II-also-RC, with the module loaded, "netconfig" (or "setup") should
allow you to dictate DHCP for eth0.
  I reserve the right to be sadly mistaken, your mileage may vary,
yadda-yadda.
