Subj : Slackware Question

Got a Slackware question for you...

I recently purchased a new pcmcia card for my laptop, had some
problems finding a driver for the thing...  Anyway, I got the
thing working, sort of, but I don't know where the main
configuration files are for the NIC's.  This thing comes up 
as an ath0 device, and I want to set it to look for DHCP... 
What I currently have to do is run ifconfig ath0 <ipaddress>.
and run routed to make it work... I could put this all in 
rc.local, and let it be done, but I know there's a file
somewhere... I just can't seem to find it.

I could do this in a matter of seconds with Debian.  Edit 
/etc/network/interfaces:


# The loopback interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.20
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        network 192.168.1.0
        gateway 192.168.1.254

I just can't seem to find a file with this kind of informtion in it.  
Mind giving me a hint?  :)
