You dont say which distro you are using, however i have 2 ethernet cards also
in a redhat-7.1 box the second is the same as yours.
I had the same problem when trying to get it to work via the init scripts, just
what the problem is i dont know i have not bothered to look, i simply did the
following.
edited /etc/rc.d/rc.local and modprobed the card and used ifconfig to configure
it.
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
A route for that network will get added automaticly.
You can also try 'netcfg' in Redhat that should work, i did not try as i prefer
to do things manualy so i know which files get added and/or changed.
