I'm also trying to get two NIC cards running, in my case two PCI Linksys
(tulip) cards. Theoretically, with PCI cards, you just need to put the
lines:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
in /etc/conf.modules, since it will probe for multiple PCI cards
automatically. For ISA cards, however, you also need to specify the hardware
address like so:
options ne io=0x280,0x300,0x220
Donald Becker has a multiple ethercard mini-howto at:

Please take my comments with a grain of salt - I haven't gotten my two
cards to work yet, either. :)
