Most non-interactive programs check for a "help" parameter, and if found will display available parameters and quit. Usually it is "--help", "-help", or "-h", and sometimes you can use any of those on a given application. It's my opinion that all apps that accept commandline parameters *should* accept all 3 versions of help, but not enough developers do that.
Open a terminal and type "wmnet --help". You'll see that it has a "-w" option, which is used to start it "withdrawn" (for slit, dock, etc), and "-W" for device name.
So, if you add "wmnet -wW lan0 &" to .xinitrc (or optionally .fluxbox/startup in flux 0.9.x) you should get what you need.
Slitlist does not start applications...it just tells fluxbox what order to display them. If you got doubles, it probably wasn't because of the slitlist.
EDIT: It seems you already knew the --help thing, but i'll leave the post in case it helps others. The most important thing, though, is that the apps is started "withdrawn" in order to get it into the slit, and put the command in .xinitrc so you can add parameters.
