So what type of card is your second ethernet adapter? Unless you're
using one whose driver is built into the kernel there isn't a kernel
module being loaded for it. If it's a tulip based card, like your
original, then you should see:
Module Size Used by
tulip 30264 2
Note the "2" under "Used by". This is the setup I have and I didn't
have to do anything for the tulip module to recognize the second
ethernet card.
