Is the card up?  Does it appear when you do "ifconfig -a".  You
probably don't have the card configured.  If not, you need to
copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 and
edit it appropriately (change "DEVICE" to "eth1" and modify the
IP address and netmask, and remove the gateway).  Then try
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop;/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start"
and verify the card comes up by doing "ifconfig -a".

card is working fine.
its even listed under ifconfig o/p.basically it gets detected at the
start time itself.
but only thing that doesnt work is ethtool's o/p.
