The solution was to use the bad option on the card that wasn't reporting a valid signature. My conf.modules file now looks like this: alias eth0 ne alias eth1 ne options ne io=0x320,0x340 irq=11,5 bad=0x000,0xbad I found the bad option by grepping through the source for the error message that was appearing in the system log. (I'm just another satisfied open-source user.) I'm not sure why one card returns a valid signature and the other doesn't since they are identical cards. I'm not curious enough to spend any more time figuring it out though.
