 it is too aften seemd that when it boots it shows me one ethernet card
 and some time both...?

I saw that with my RTL8139 under the latest 2.4.x kernels.  Switching to
2.6.x solved it.  This may not be the same issue...

I've been having the same problem with my main ethernet card (a no-name 
gigeth job based on the Natsemi dp83820 chipset) under 2.4.26, although it 
doesn't occur often enough to be a problem. Tried googling for things, but 
nothing concrete to be found.

IIRC one of the messages I came across was from one of the kernel devs, who 
thought it might be related to a slightly buggy implementation of the AMD 
7xx chipsets commonly found in the Tyan Athlon MP boards. I'll have a hunt 
about and see if I can find anything again.
