All I have done so far is install the card into the box, and I have not
added any additional drivers into the server
 It is indeed a different type of card from original that is in there

What have you tried so far? Is it the same type as the first?
If it is, you should be able to see it in 'dmesg' output. For example

8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.27
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf8894800, 00:11:d8:b4:5c:d2, IRQ 17
eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D'

you'd also see a line for 'eth1'.

If the board requires a different driver you have to load it.
Like 'modprobe eepro100' then check dmesg again. If you see an 'eth1'
line, it found the card.
I know it works, I have 3 systems running TSL with multiple NIC's.

After you figure out what driver to use, you add line(s) to
/etc/modprobe.conf, eg

alias eth0 r8169
alias eth1 eepro100
alias eth2 eepro100

This associates an interface with a driver and afer reboot will
cause the right driver to be loaded when you try to configure the
interface.
