I sugesst updateing this to atleast the 2.2.9-27mdk before the umount and
core dump problems hit you. Going to the kernel from cooker would be even
better as it's got updated nic drivers that may save a butt load of
debuging.

Card has tx/rx lights do they work? Check ifconfig, is it recording
TX/RX errors or colisions or anything of that nature. I don't know if that
card gets assigned an IRQ but if it does you should notice it's entry in
/proc/interupts will change everytime you try to use the card, does this
happen?

Try reversing the cards maybe, like swap the alias eth0 for the alias
eth1. If you know what i mean then you will know if it's the card/driver
or the config .
