I have read docs saying you need to pass command lines to the kernel to
tell it to probe for >1 NIC (of the same type); however when I did it
with 2 Linksys Etherfast LNE100TX cards, I just plugged them in and the
kernel detected them both without any help from me. Maybe it depends on
the driver. Give that a shot though and see what happens; if it only
sees one, there are some docs on linuxdoc.org that will tell you what
parameters you might need.
HTH.
