I wasn't using discover.  Having installed it, I now have a couple of
USB-related modules loading at boot time, but no change as far as the
ethernet is concerned...
dmesg doesn't say *anything* about an eth1 anywhere...
modprobe via-rhine still dies w/ the same error message as before.
If I just go ahead and add an eth1 section manually in
/etc/network/interfaces and try ifup eth1, it (not surprisingly) dies,
saying "eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"

lspci -v says this about my new card:
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3106 (rev 86)
	Subsystem: D-Link System Inc: Unknown device 1403
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
	I/O ports at d800 [size=256]
	Memory at d9010000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]
	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

So... What do I try next?
