The network/interfaces previously posted sounds the best bet.
Alternatively:

If it's running Udev, maybe try adding
KERNEL=="eth1", RUN+="dhclient eth1"
to the udev rules file.

If it's hotplug, maybe try adding to /etc/hotplug/net.agent

If it's running ModuleInitTools add
install ndiswrapper modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && dhclient eth1
to /etc/modprobe.conf

I should probably do sort something like this myself, instead of
hacking the network init script. ;-)

Hope it works,
