Alternately, add a file in /etc/modutils called, say, 2myaliases, 
containing:

alias eth1 tulip
alias eth2 eepro100

then in /etc/network/interfaces create entries for them such as:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
         address 10.0.0.10
         netmask 255.255.255.0

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

and they'll be auto-configured at boot. You'll need to run 
"update-modules" first though.
