Network problems after compile of 2.2.14 kernel

[Doug <doug@dupreeinc.com>]

Hello,

I hope this is the right area to ask this question.  I have a system I plan to 
use as a firewall eventually.  Currently I am trying to get the networking 
(using two 3C509 network cards) to work.

Originally my system was using the 2.0.36 kernel and everything seem to work 
fine.  eth0 connected to our internal network and eth1 connected to the 
internet.  

I upgraded my system to the (frozen) distribution and downloaded the 2.2.14 
kernel source.  After compiling and installing the kernel and modules my system 
only saw one network card (eth0) and this connection doesn't work.  I added the 
alias lines shown below to the /etc/modules.conf file.

alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509

With these two lines (after a reboot) I see three lines refering to ethX 
adapters in the /var/log/syslog (eth0, eth1, eth2).  eth0 and  eth1 are for the 
exact same card (eth0 doesn't work but eth1 does for my internal network).  eth2 
works for the internet connection.  NOTE: I also noticed that the eth0 line is 
generated at a different point on the starting process!

What is going on here?  How do I get rid of the first eth0 that doesn't work?  
Is there some new process for configuring network cards in this new Kernel?

Thanks for your time!
