The problem seems to be that, when I run modprobe to load the driver for my ethernet interface, ifup or ifconfig seems to get run as well. Since I have my 3c95x driver in my /etc/modules, it gets loaded at boot time and then the interface actually gets *brought up*. Now, I kinda suspect that it's "ifup" that's getting run because the interface, after it has been brought up, seems to use the contents of /etc/network/interfaces... which is a debianism. However, if ifconfig can save/restore the settings from the last time the interface was brought up, then I guess ifconfig could be what's being run... but I really suspect ifup.
Are you sure that no dhcp client is running before you are doing modprobe? I've seen one of them being started by a link in /etc/rc2.d (even if there's no auto entry in /etc/network/interfaces).
