2 cards should work, even on the same IRQ. They DO, however, need different ip addresses. They should then be able to 'ping' each-other, as well as everyone else.

I have an Intel motherboard(S845WD1-E) with two network cards onboard. I loaded RH7.3 and I was able to set the both network cards in the setup process of RH. When I am in RH I can use eth0 to go in the internet but eth1 doesn't work to go in the internet. I ran ifconfig to see the setings for the nic's and I see they have the same irq. Also, I can see the RX and TX packets for both nic's, eth0 has packets but not eth1. How can I make the second card work? Please help. Thanks in advance for your help.
