Since both are PCI it doesn't really matter.The module should detect
them both.
just make sure you have PCI IRQ sharing OFF since the Linux kernel
doesn't work
very well with it ON.Other then that it's just the first guessing which
card is
eth0 and which is eth1.Set in BIOS PnP OS to no and you should be fine.
I was running 2 Linksys LNE 100TX with Debian for months in the same box
without problems.
