Okay, you made me look. netconfig contains

# Check for existing network driver:
unset DONOTPROBE
if cat /proc/net/dev | grep eth0 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
DONOTPROBE=true
fi

After I chroot'ed from the running Slack 9.1 into the new Slack 10, I did
mount /proc. I guess netconfig found the eth0 in Slack 9.1 and did not
do the probe.
