I ran into this a while back with BSDI. Of course, my problem was that I was running two interfaces. It liked the first one but on the second, all I could do was ping the interface itself. The fix was changing the base addresses of the cards and forcing them to particular interrupts in the kernel config. (In this case, 0x600 IRQ 5, and 0x640 IRQ7) Might give that a shot and see what happens. Otherwise, there are 4 options: bad card misconfigured kernel conflicts with another device the kernel simply won't support that device
