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....
