The biggest problem looks like the 161464 TX errors on eth1. Noticeably, it fails on every TX attempt. I've never seen "carrier" packets, either. I could be wrong, but I think the problem is that both cards are using the same interrupt (IRQ 5). (If they are PCI-type cards, that may not be a problem, iff the motherboard/BIOS can handle PCI IRQ sharing). You may have to mess with your BIOS settings (use caution!!!!); and/or, depending on the type of cards, set the IRQ on the cards themselves (either switches or software - refer to manufacturer's manuals). If that's not it, I'd try swapping the two cards and see if the problem follows the card... If so, replace the bad card. And if THAT's not it, check the cabling... perhaps you have a bad/loose TX wire/connection. Actually, you might want to check these things in the reverse order listed. Easy things first, right?
