Basic setup is done in /etc/modules.conf - load the nic drivers and setup an
alias for each eth. This is an example of one of my boxes
(/etc/modules.conf):

   alias eth0 tulip
   alias eth1 via-rhine

Then, it's a matter of setting the ifcfg-eth? to auto-load and determine IP
configuration etc. just like if you had only one nic. If you're setting up a
gateway you'll need to configure at least a ip_forward = 1 and determine a
route between the nic's.

Make sure that each driver is aliases to different /dev/eth and it should
work (has worked great for 5 years for me).
