Literally interpretting "get it to bring up eitherof the interfaces"
implies they are recognized ("ip link" shows them) but not in the
"UP" state. Is that the correct interpretation, or are they not
recognized at all (and thus wouldn't show up in "ip link" output)?

A bit more info would help in debugging. Here's what I suggest
to cover most of the standard problems:
1.) lsmod output from the working distro to verify mii, 8139cp,
and 8139too are the right modules and to illustrate any
dependencies,
2.) copy of /etc/modules to verify the modules are specified to
be loaded at boot,
3.) output of "ls -l /lib/modules" to verify you've downloaded
the modules (if necessary) and installed them in the the
modules.lrp package,
4.) lsmod output from Bering to verify that all three modules
are actually loaded,
5.) output (from /var/log/syslog or console) from when those
three modules are loaded to verify the NICs are recognized,
6.) output of "ip link" so we can tell if the interfaces are
recognized but not up or if they aren't even recognized,
7.) copy of /etc/network/interfaces so we can tell if there are
any problems there, and
8.) confirmation that you've read
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/binstall.html
steps 4 and 5 at least once. ;)
Like you said, it's probably something simple. We just need more
information to say exactly what.
