That's correct, PCI devices which have an ISA equivalent get 
assigned 1 rather than 0.

Try booting into DOS and running the Ethernet card's setup program
and running the self-tests. Just doing this sometimes seems to sort
things out... Also check that it's set to NE2000 mode and not the
WD compatible mode which I think it may also support.
