Sound like you've already downloaded the pcmcia-cs code from:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2405

And I assume your kernel already has proper support...
If that's the case, don't worry about faking out the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 device.  Just reboot with the
card in the machine and start the pcmcia service (i.e.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start).  After that, you may need to run either
"dhcpcd eth1" or "pump eth1" to get the DHCP IP Address (otherwise use
ifconfig as normal).  The card should have blinking lights before the IP
address is set.  Good luck!
