I don't have any problem with two identical SMC cards with the WD
module in RH 5.2. But that's kernel 2.0.36.

You seperate the values with commas, as in:
alias eth0 wd
alias eth1 wd
options wd io=0x300,0x280 irq=10,15
Apparently the first value for each option applies to eth0, the
second to eth1, etc.

That wasn't necessary in my case. But perhaps not all NIC modules
support multiple values the way wd does...
