I tried this and still no progress ... I think the problem must be from the cards using the same I/O address. I noticed that on bootup, before the first of two error messages related to eth1, it says:
SIOCSIFADDR and then before the 2nd error: SIOCSIFNETMASK COuld this give an indication to the problem?
