Correct!
To verify it once more, I just unplugged the 'private net" 3Com card, and
ifconfig reported...
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:87:DF:D1
inet addr:202.190.60.154 Bcast:202.190.60.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

And now, when I have the two 3Com cards installed and configured...
(loopback adaptor removed from output listing)
Internet is connected to eth0, and nothing is yet connected on eth1.

Unfortunately not the case...

Now, it beats me...
Also note that the pings I did, was sent to the card (the Hub LED blinks), and
that the background 'noise' is not received as it usually is.
