Two NICs, one eth interface?

Hi!

The following is happening when using 2.6: I've got two network interface
cards: SMC Ultra (ISA PNP card) and an Intel eepro100 card. The strange
thing is that both of these cards get the eth0 interface. Relative to
dmesg:
...
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/eepro100.html
eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.36 $ 2000/11/17 Modified by Andrey V. Savochkin <saw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and others
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:03.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:07.2
eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:90:27:A7:CE:6A, IRQ 11.
Board assembly 734938-001, Physical connectors present: RJ45
Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
General self-test: passed.
Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
Internal registers self-test: passed.
ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).
pnp: Device 00:01.00 activated.
smc-ultra.c: ISAPnP reports SMC EtherEZ (8416) at i/o 0x240, irq 5.
smc-ultra.c:v2.02 2/3/98 Donald Becker (becker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
eth0: SMC EtherEZ at 0x240, 00 00 C0 2A 26 DE,assigned IRQ 5 programmed-I/O mode.
smc-ultra.c: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2

So you can see there is only one eth interface for two NICs.
Modules are turned off, and ISAPnP is enabled.
Cheers,

Zoltan
