/var/log/messages, etc.
Have you looked at the Multiple Ethernet HOWTO? This will be a great place
to start if you haven't.
Other than the usual IRQ & I/O conflict suggestions and running any
DOS-based NIC diagnostic software, I can't offer a lot of help with
multiple NIC's because I've never had occasion to do it under Linux. Maybe
someone else can offer more help.
