Use the 8139too kernel module. I believe it is not part of the default
kernel but the source is included. You may have to compile it. Second
make sure you have a device startup script for eth1 in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Also change your /etc/sysconfig/network to point to eth1 as your
gateway device
