You have to tell your kernel that he (it) should not stop looking for a
NIC when already found one.
Enable multiple ethernet devices on your machine by adding this to
your /etc/lilo.conf, and re-run lilo:
append = "ether=0,0,eth1"
If you have three interfaces on your bridge, use this line instead:
append = "ether=0,0,eth1 ether=0,0,eth2"
More interfaces can be found by adding more ether statements. By
default a stock Linux kernel probes for a single ethercard, and once
one is found the probe ceases. The above append statement tells the
kernel to keep probing for more ethernet devices after the first one
is found.
Alternatively, the boot parameter can be used instead:
linux ether=0,0,eth1
the configuration is tha same as with your first NIC.
this was taken from the Bridging HOWTO. I think you'll find more
information about this in you /usr/doc/howto Folder
