The card must be recognized at boot time before it
can be configured in the network. If it's pnp, it must
be setup with isapnp.conf. If it's PCI it's automatically
found.

Then you must set the card up with options in 
/etc/conf.modules or build it into your kernel.

For eth0 you should have a couple of lines like:
alias eth0  ne
options ne irq=* i/o=*

You should have similar entries for eth1,
alias eth1  ne2k-pci
options ne2k-pci irq=* i/o=*

You substitute your card modules and irq and i/o info.

Once you do that the cards will be found, and you can assign
them addresses.

If the cards are identical, I think you only
need one option line and you put commas between values.

Disclaimer: this may have syntax errors, but it will point
you in the right direction.
