Sounds like you are moving your default route to the second card or something like that... have a look at your route table before second card is brought up and after..

Dear slugs
When I installed my linux Redhat 8.0 distribution I included one network card - A realtek 8139. I used this to connect to my cable modem and the net.
I then tried to add another identical network card so I can connect it to my LAN. Unforunately the addition of this card into the system is seemingly not permissable. If I ever try to activate the new card I lose my internet connection.
I have tried removing both network cards and letting kudzu redetect them. I then reset all the parameters. The system does not allow me to have any network cards active for my internet to work
I have
eth0 inactive eth1 inactive ppp0 active (connecting through eth0)
When I activate eth1 to connect to my LAN - my ppp connection breaks. It says it is fine in the network configuration - but of course it isn't.
On an identical machine I have installed Redhat 8.0 with another two Realteks at installation time. I don't have any of these problems. Is it not yet possible to add another network card to linux after the system has been installed? Or does linux have trouble with two network cards of the same time?
