since both nics are ne2 this has nothing to do with the kernel version,
you just don't tell the kernel or module to use 2 nics instead of the
first it detects.
if you use the ne driver as a module edit /etc/modutiles/ne (or create it)
and at a line
options ne io=<io nic1>,<io nic2> irq=<irq nic1>,<irq nic2>
e.g.
options ne io=0x280,0x300 irq=9,10
if you kompiled ne support into the kernel you have to append it (in
/etc/lilo.conf) add
append="ether=<irq nic1>,<io nic1>,eth0 ether=<irq nic2>,<io nic2>, eth1"
