That's not necessarily a problem, it means that

$ ifup eth1

won't work. But dhclient eth1 will still do what you expect.
although if the wireless Access Point is doing anything besides being a
wide open broadcasting AP, you'll probably need a few network specific
iwconfig commands:

# iwconfig eth1 essid <wacky_cafe_ssid>

or somesuch.

If you want the ifup command to work you need to add to a stanza in the
interfaces file something like this:

iface eth1 inet dhcp
       wireless_mode managed
       wireless-essid any

try,

# modprobe 8139too

or alternately and less optimally.

# insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.ko
