Hi Edwin,
1. try a different PCI card like an Intel card.
2. Possibly the motherboard nic is turning off or faulty for some reason
and the PCI card assuming eth0. Try turning off the Via motherboard nic
and install two PCI cards... like two Intel cards.

G'day,
I have a rather weird problem. We've installed a router device at one
of our customers; it is a Via motherboard and has therefore a Via
Rhine network interface on the motherboard (eth0) and a Realtek 8139
network interface on a PCI card. For some reason, the drivers for the
two network interfaces seem to spontaneously invert, with the Realtek
driver applying itself to the Via port (and usually working OK!) and
the Rhine driver to the Realtek port (and sometimes not working - but
sometimes working as well). This does not follow any outside action,
although the customer has learned that rebooting the system (cleanly)
solves any non-working interface issue.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
