I wouldn't have thought so. It seems to me more likely that there is something incorrect in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[01] . Maybe you could show them, if you still have a problem. Since eth1 has come up, I think the kernel must be finding the driver. But the above does not show eth[01] are the right way round. You could add IPV6INIT=no to ifcfg-eth1, though I doubt if that is the problem. What does /var/log/messages say about DHCP - is eth1 looking for an address?
