eth0 won't come up at bootup

[Net Llama!]

I've got a Redhat based laptop that doesn't want to have its PCMCIA NIC
come up at eth0 at bootup.  Its a static IP on an internal network.  I can
always bring it up with "ipfup eth0" manually, but it won't come up on its
own.  I've got "ONBOOT=YES" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and the network service is started upon bootup for runlevels 3 and 5 (it
boots into 5 by default).  So, i'm utterly stumped at why it won't
cooperate.  I've also got eth0 aliased to the tulip module (the correct
module for the NIC) in /etc/modules.conf.   Anyone have suggestions or
ideas?
