right, because the interface isn't up.

The LED isn't really a reliable way to determine if things are working. 
  If your routing table isn't sending anything down eth1, then the LED 
isn't going to flash.  I don't understand why you mangled ifconfig 
output, when the RX/TX info is actually the most important piece of 
information here.

Are you getting a DHCP lease for the onboard NIC?  If yes, then this has 
nothing to do with the driver.
