If you're comfortable with editing config files by hand, you
need to modify two files:
/etc/network/interfaces
/etc/modprobe.conf
modprobe.conf is for the linux kernel 2.6. If you're running
linux kernel 2.4 (likely) then create a new file (any name)
in /etc/modutils/ and run update-modules afterwards.
[/etc/network/interfaces]
auto lo eth0 eth1
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
[/etc/modprobe.conf]
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 forcedeth
... where 3c59x and forcedeth are the driver names for your two
cards. If both cards use the same driver, I'm afraid I don't
know how to specify which is which.
Hope that helps! Cheers,
Shaun
