I have had *exactly* the same problem on a number of Intel ISP1100's, with dual on board eepro100's, on both 2.2 and 2.4. I've never looked into it, as in the setup I was using; it was more of an advantage than a problem, made my life a lot easier :) I would be interested to know why though, as it may be a problem one day.
