It was a while ago....more than a year....but I seem to remember having
some similar difficulties.  The way I resolved it was to take both NIC out
an reboot.  I told the system to remove both cards from my configuration.
Next, I put one card it and booted.  When that was configured OK.  I shut
down and put the second card in and allowed the system to configure it.
No more problems after tht....
