[LUAU] Multipile NIC's and Linux

I'm kinda driving myself bonkers on this one. I'm sure I'm missing 
something fairly trivial. Pointers to FAQS or HOWTO's appreciated.

I'm trying to setup multiple NIC's on a new Linux box, just installed it 
with Redhat 5.2, but am having problems getting a second NIC recognized. 
I don't have a problem getting a 3c509b recognized and working.

My problems begin when I tried using a second NIC. I've tried with a 
KNE20 (kingston) and made what I thought were appropriate entries in 
conf.modules.

alias eth0 3c509
options io=0x210 irq=9
alias eth1 ne
options io=0x240 irq=5

But it doesn't seem to recognize the cards. I have another 3c509b 
(they're my favorite since I seem to have less problems using them). But 
vaguely recall reading somewhere that using two of the same NIC cards 
won't work without some extra work.

I'd be most grateful if anyone can point me to more info, or clue me in 
if they have a similar setup. I'd like to try setting the box up to 
IP-masq an existing network connection.

Thanks in advance!

Aloha,
