This is the expected behaviour if a machine is configured for dhcp, and no dhcp server is available, except that normally you would have waited a few minutes at boot time for eth1 to try and get an IP. > The only way to get things back to normal was killing the ifplugd > process for eth1, and using ifconfig to manually configure it.
