OK, simple and hopefully not stupid question.  How many ethernet controllers 
are in your machine?  My first impression is that 8139too is working fine and 
picking up eth0.

If you really do have two controllers, what chip is the other one?  Are you 
sure that the Realtek controller is coming up as eth1 and not eth0?

Look in the kernel log (/var/log/kern.log) to see if there's any more useful info.
