The startup script for basic network is /etc/init.d/networking.
But adding your NICs to /etc/network/interfaces should be all you have
to do. It should look like this:
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# 1st NIC
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.200.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.200.0
broadcast 192.168.200.255
gateway 192.168.200.254
# 2nd NIC
...
