I had pretty much the same thing happen with my cable modem setup. The problem
was caused by IRQ conflicts. Something odd with the Intel cards I used? It
sounds weird, but try simply switching the slots for the ethernet cards. Put
eth0 where eth1 is, and vice-versa. This worked for me. Don't really know
why....

Subject: [newbie] Multiple ethernet cards
I am attempting to set up a server using ip masq connecting a mixed
linux/win 98 and nt network to a cable modem. The system works using
Win2000 as server, but I have been unable to get linux to recognize more
than one of the ethernet cards.
The system is a AMD K6-2 350 with 64 MB of RAM, the cable modem is
connected to a 3c509b, and local network is connected to a Genius
(Realtek) card. Upon setup the realtek driver is loaded as eth0 (found
by the system PCI probe). I have attempted to setup the 3c509b with a
line in lilo.conf, listing IRQ and address, without success. I have also
tried listing the card in the networking section of linuxconf with the
same information, also without success.
How can I get linux to recognize and load both cards?
