This line worked, where the other ones didn't. I guess order matters.
It's showing up in /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports now.
However, ifconfig still gives me a "no such device" error.

After the change above, I do indeed see both show up:
#dmesg |grep ^eth
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 9
eth1: NE2000 found at 0x320, using IRQ 5
ifconfig finally allows me to execute the following commands:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth1 207.141.63.120 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
route add -net 207.141.63.119 netmask 255.255.255.255 eth1
route add default gw 207.141.63.119
(I have an internal BNC network running off eth0, and the rest of the internet
on eth1 going through a gateway located at 207.141.63.119. )
And it looks like I'm off and running. Thanks everyone!!
