I know it's "piece of cake stuff", which was why I didn't understand why it didn't work. It turned out to be a bizarre hardware issue - I have one or more bad disks or bad ports on my PCI-X SATA card and that was killing the NICs. Once I'd removed the offending disks from offending ports (still not sure which was the problem) the NICs were discovered and configured normally.
