If no one more enlightened gives you a suggestion, you might try this. I see that you bring up eth1 on boot, but your problem description makes it sound like the card isn't actually in the slot. Have you tried booting without eth1 in the line 'auto lo eth0 eth1'? It's just a guess, but your scripts might be saying, when you insert the card, "that interface is already up. I'm not going to do anything." so they exit immediately. If this is the reason, I'd expect to see some sort of error message on boot up about eth1 not coming up properly (though I'm not sure, since it's static). In any case, it's something easy to try.
