I don't know what the error message means. Two ethernet cards work for
me. As far as I can tell you just ifconfig the cards and then add the
routes. What does ifconfig say after both cards have been configured? It
should provide info on lo, eth0, and eth1.

$ ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:09:DC:89:1A  
          ..info similar to lo deleted..

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:5A:1D:83:EF  
          ..info similar to lo deleted..
