Since you say you're new to Linux, the following might be helpful to 
know in debugging your init scripts:


You can add a "set -x"  to the top of your networking script to see what 
it's doing and how it's evaluating the conditional logic in the script ( 
don't actually include the quotes ).

Add some additional echo statements in your scripts to help you figure 
out what's going on.   You can also do the same with other scripts in 
the init.d directory.

You're probably booting up at runlevel 5 ( see inittab ).  You can see 
the order of your initscripts booting by looking in the /etc/rc5.d 
directory.  You can also play around with the ordering of initialization 
by changing the prefix number of the file names ( they are symbolic 
links back to the /etc/init.d directory.
