As with any network device, if you bring up the network manually you will need to add the gateway to the routing table:

Code:
route add default gw ${gatway_address}

To do this via the init script. cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth1, edit /etc/conf.d/net and add:

Code:
iface_eth1="10.0.0.9 broadcast 10.0.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth1/${gateway_address}"

You should then be able to bring up the interface with:

Code:
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
