it is a kingston kne100tx. gentoo detected the eth card, but the problem is that i need to load it manually to eth1. my firewire is automatically assigned eth0, and i do not know how to set it to eth1 instead.

A quick google search yields:

Which tells me your card will work with the tulip drivers. Just add them in as modules and modprobe tulip and BANG! working.
