Hmmm OK... MAYBE this time I have it
. xinitrc was a no go... BUT I had another idea...
[root@wishthinkpad andrzejl]# cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/network

exit $rc

Will reboot couple of times before will be 99% sure but after first reboot network interface eth0 was present
...
It's a dirty solution but I have thought about it. I was always adding this command after:
a) network service was up
b) new hardware check was done
SO I have decided to add this command BEFORE network and hardware check were done
...
Think we have it this time
! I won't mark it as solved till I won't get the network cable and test it properly but for now we can call it a break
...
Thanks AS and Hootiegibbon for Your help, ideas and time
.
