Here's a silly answer for your "easy" question :)
Have you tried using the "-n" option to ping to make sure it
doesn't do DNS lookups? If you don't do that and it can't
resolve the IP addresses, it will seem not to do anything for
quite a while before printing the responses.
You can also try running "tcpdump -i eth1 -n" while pinging to
see if you're getting traffic, even if ping isn't printing it
yet...

This looks OK to me. There should NOT be a gateway on eth1, but
you have it commented out anyway...

This looks like the card is working. OK, you got one receive
error, but you transmitted some packets and received some
packets.
Hope this helps.
