configure eth1 [Linux Networking]

The eth0 seems to be working fine, but I can't bring up eth1. It's an
older card, so it _could_ be the card, but it's more likely to be a
configuration issue.

I'm not sure from the following, but it seems that I don't need a module
for the kernel for this card. From the menu: system, administration,
network brings up the network configuration screen, which shows eth1 as
inactive, but can't be enabled. The GUI reports that:

"3c59x device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization."

But clearly it's present as it's being identified.

Please also post the output of lspci.

Shortly after posting this message I did a clean install of FC5 overnight,
reasoning that to be more expedient. However, I do notice that the
internal NIC, SiS, is now eth1 and the PCI NIC is now eth0, which seems
backwards:

What does it say in /etc/modprobe.conf ?
I installed FC-5 yesterday, and noticed that it reversed eth0 and eth1
on my system.
I edited modprobe.conf ,
and swapped the entries for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[01]
(changing the DEVICE=eth0/1 line).
That seemed to correct things.
