Multiple Identical "wd" ethernet cards not recognized

Is there something "special" required for the kernel "net" drivers to see
more than one "identical" card? I Have two WD8013 cards set up as:

Card 1: IRQ = 10 Card 2: IRQ = 11
IO = 0x280 IO = 0x300
MEM = d000 MEM = d800

Under Linux 2.2.13, the "wd" driver autoprobes but only sees Card#1 - there
is no sign of Card#2 at all. Nothing else in the machine interferes with
these settings. "Dos" diag programs from SMC confirm both working OK
simultaneously.

My conf.modules has:

alias eth0 wd
alias eth1 wd <--- Not sure what to put here? Is this right?

Under RedHat 6.1, I do:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth1

Nothing.

I do:

ifconfig eth1

Nothing either. Any ideas on what I'm doingwrong would be greatly
appreciated.
