Take a look at your boot messages (/var/log/boot.log, maybe others?). It
should show the kernel recognizing the cards and it should say which
designation
(eth0, eth1, eth2), they have been given.

I was just working through this myself this weekend. I had put in a 2nd
ethernet card (see other email for the brand), and I couldn't get it to work.
Not until I figured out that I had to add a line to /etc/conf.modules
to get the
correct module loaded. I could tell that the card wasn't working because when
I tried using ifconfig to bring it up, like so:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
I get cryptic error messages about the interface not being found. If you do
ifconfig and get no errors, try to ping that ip address. If it is
up, you'll get
a response.
