FC5 Network nightmare

On my box acting as a router I have two NIC

eth0 is the onboard NIC (marvell 1Gbit)
eth1 is the additional 10Mbit NIC (realtek 8029) for modem connection.

Sometimes upon booting I cannot connect to the modem and also pinging
it is impossible, I get an ureachabale host.
I reboot the machine and it works...
I made a short investigation and
 when not working

/sbin/ifconfig
