I've come in late on this message, so I'm not sure I'm catching it all,
but you should be able to assign your two network cards eth0 and eth1 in
your /etc/conf.modules. In there, you should see something like:
alias eth0 <whatever module you have for nic> (eexpress in this case)
options eth0 io=0xXX iqr=X
You should just be able to add 2 more lines like these two only alias eth1
instead of eth0. I could be wrong though.
