Hmm, I guessed at those ioports, was I right or were you just following my
lead ?

Hmm, are you absolutly sure that the one driver is isn't working both
cards ? From the comments in the source, the driver finds all the cards
on the ISA bus. When you have the eth0 device working do an ifconfig on
eth1. It's annoing, but I think that devices that are down don't appear
in the defualt ifconfig output:

So have you tried just loading the one driver, and ifconfiging both eth0,
and eth1 ?
