eth0 is brought up the hotplug system. I have commented out the
"hotplug" mapping for eth0 on my /etc/network/interfaces file and now
eth0 is not enabled at boot time.

you can setup eth1 in your /etc/network/interfaces file with these lines
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid any
wireless-key MYHEXPASS
then you use the following command to bring up eth1
ifup eth1
If you want to automatically have eth1 enabled during boot then having
this line in the /etc/network/interfaces file should do it.
auto eth1
