This may have a problem in the past, but at least for my NIC's and kernel
(2.0.36), two of the same NIC's work fine. I bought the same brand, because
I had used them with Linux in the past and knew that it would work, and so
they wouldn't conflict.

My conf.modules:

alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x300,0x0340

(By the way, these were jumperless and I had to use DOS (and plug them into
DOS machines first) to set the IRQ and I/O address. Just wanted to remind
you to do that first, if they're jumperless, because I've messed up by
forgetting to set them up before using them in a Linux machine uninitialized.)
