I used 
  append="ether=10,0x280,eth0 ether=5,0x300,eth1"
in /etc/lilo.conf on a RH 4.2 masq box because I thought it was the simplest
way.
I know I played with /etc/conf.modules, and I think I got it to work there.
Somthing like
  alias eth0 ne
  options ne io=0x280,0x300 irq=10,5
because if I separated them into two sets of alias/options statements, the
ne driver would 'step on itself' when it loaded the second time and I'd only
have the second card enabled........
or maybe not. that was a good 6 months or more ago........
It does work well with the lilo.conf line and an ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
