I swapped it no dice...
Is there some thing in the kernel that could be causing this issue?
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?
Ps I don't claim to be a network guru!
