Did you modify /etc/network/interfaces to configure the new device?
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
For DHCP. Or you could use something like the following for a static IP.
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.0.34.166
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.0.34.0
broadcast 192.0.34.255
gateway 192.0.34.1
