[rescue] NICs?

I'll try it...this is an old kernel...2.0.36, I think!

Tried--went to 0x300 and 0x340, IRQ 10 and 9 (in the module.conf and the
autoprobe picked up the changes).  The odd bit is that I can bring 'em up
(ifconfig eth1 up) without errors, so I'm pretty sure the kernel is getting
the cards in the right place.  It's almost as though the driver can't deal
with having two of the same type cards.

Oh well.  I'll try and drag it to the house this weekend so I can really
bang on it.  Maybe I can cram a *BSD install on there and have better luck...
