You do not have entries for eth0 or eth1 in your
/etc/network/interfaces file.
See debian-reference Section 10.6.1.1.

I wonder how eth1 is working at all without being in the interfaces
file. I hsve never used an interface without having a stanza for it
in /etc/network/interfaces. I suppose you could do it with route but
that would get old really fast.

udev has found both of your interfaces so if you add them to the
interfaces file you should be good to go.
