I'm no expert but try setting up eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces
e.g.
# Wireless
iface eth1 inet static
address x.x.x.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway x.x.x.x
name Wireless Adapter
This will allow you to do a ifup/ifdown eth1.
You will also need to make a module alias so that when the interface is
required it will load the module. Modify /etc/modutils/aliases to
include a line like:
# Wireless card
alias eth1 orinoco
The way some of these built in cards seem to go you could get some
interference between various bits of hardware as i have found with my IR
stuff.
Anyway, good luck.
