A little clarity might be needed. The original kernel (2.2.5) had support
as loadable modules or in the kernel? The same question for the new
kernel (2.2.14).
If you are loading support as modules then you will need to have something
like
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x280, io=0x300
in /etc/conf.modules
If you want to do the same with support built directly into the kernel
then you need to tell the kernel about the cards as it will only
autoprobe a single card. I *think* the following will work, (as per the
Ethernet-HOWTO) but I've never done it myself.
LILO: linux ether=11,0x280,eth0 ether=10,0x300,eth1

As mentioned above it you've got support built into the kernel (not
loading as a module) then it will only probe for a single card.
I think you need to RTFM. Check out
http://linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Ethernet-HOWTO.html
this is where I checked the above. Its a little out of date now though,
but still seems find for 2.2. If you have the capability its worth moving
to 2.2.19 as there are some exploits for the earlier kernels, clearly if
you're the only user though its not a problem!
cheers!
