That append line looks ok, but will "only" work if you rerun /sbin/lilo
If the cards use different drivers then there is no need to even use an append
line in /etc/lilo.conf.
Of course you will need something like the following in /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 rtl8139
alias eth1 wd
Modprobe should now be able to automaticly load the modules rtl8139 and wd.
To configure the cards;
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig eth0 44.xx.xx.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Becarefull with routing, using 255.255.255.0 will produce a default route for
the network on each device automaticly. If that is not desired use a mask of
255.255.255.255 i belive that should work.
