How to install D-Link DGE-550SX?

Hello,

I'm lost trying to install a D-Link DGE-550SX additionally to my existing
network card. I have done the following:

1) add the appropriate 'dl2k' driver to /etc/modules.
2) add this to /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

After a reboot dmesg|grep eth delivers this:

sda:<6>eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM5751PKFBG) rev 4001 PHY(5750)] (PCI Express)
10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:13:72:26:cd:89

tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.

bridge-eth0: down
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
bridge-eth0: enabling the bridge
bridge-eth0: up
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
eth0: no IPv6 routers present

and ifconfig shows the following:
