hmmm. still very confused. According to dmesg both cards were assigned properly, ther's just a line for each assigning eth0 and eth1 respectively (can't include as it's not on the network, and there's no floppy drive). However, ifconfig shows no eth0 or eth1. What do I have to do to get these cards installed now? Thanks for all your patience, guys.
