I've just tested this on a laptop. But unfortunately it does not work for me.
I guess there is a way to pass some options to the kernel module for the
pcmcia-nic (pcnet_cs.o in my case).
If that does not help, it seems not to be possible to have eth1 without eth0.
Perhaps there is a way to create some "dummy" device eth1, which routes all
traffic to eth0 and vice versa. But this is very hypothetical and I don't
tried this :-(
