lsmod is the command to show what modules have been loaded to support
the kernel. insmod, rmmod and lsmod are your module commands.

hmmm I once tried to setup an esb2 box with two different adapters.  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.

Backup and reboot.

I think these are just directives to the module loader program.  They
won't work at the command prompt.

I hoped this helped,
