HEY! I'M IN THE SAME STATE!! I'm working on a project at work with 2 intel eexpress cards. Same thing. Once I got eth1 to be recognized upon boot it freezes! I still have not resolved this but I can tell you how to regain your bootable system. You need to boot into linux single. When you see " lilo: " type linux 1 Then it will come up in a shell with very little loaded. At the prompt type linuxconf. This will give you a text based linuxconf. Follow the signs to networking and your eth1 card will come up. It's a long scrolling page since its ascii.. You will come across something in eth1 like enable [X] Remove the X. Save REBOOT.. You will be OK now, but eth1 won't function. If YOU figure this out, PLEASE email me..!
