Second NIC won't play

Hi guys,

I have to identical Intel 100mbit network cards in my workstation.  Just
one was plugged in and picked up DHCP when I installed, and configured
itself accordingly.   I'm not trying to make the second one talk via a
crossover cable to my notebook.  But I cannot get the interface up.

# ifconfig eth1 up
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

When I restart, I get a similar message.  My /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
        address 192.168.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255

Any ideas what might be causing this weird behaviour?  Normally with two
identical cards the module (e100 in this case) picks them both up
automatically.

Thanks
