Umm, that sounds weird... When you got drivers compiled in, you say the
link is lost after you say ifconfig eth1 ? May be you then just reconfig eth0
again properly and that' all ?
Or you trying to say, that trying to config eth1 eth0 is getting reconfigured
instead, so you actually can't access eth1 at all ?
Bye.
