I presume that is what you are doing here with the list of modules that you provided. After being cheap I bought another card to match one of the two so that they were both the same kind. Finally the modules loaded for the Ethernet adapters. I am on rc3. I tried lsmoding the modules you listed and they worked ok--not that it counts because of the different images. If you can load two different ethernet cards ok, I really think the hint may be in the order your /etc/modules loads the drivers. If you look on your cd in /lib/modules for modules.dep it lists the module dependencies. 8390.o has to be loaded before ne.o and pci-scan.o must be loaded before rtl8139.o. You may want to list the eth0 modules before the eth1 modules in the /etc/modules file since it looks like you are trying to use two dissimilar cards. A program reads /etc/modules and loads the modules in the order that you have them listed in the file.
