2 x 3c905b continues...

A week ago I posted a question on the problem with my Linux of two 3c905b's.
I still haven't found out the answer. I have thoroughly checked out the
possible pits on the way, and couldn't find one. I even put another Linux
working for this particular computer, and it works out well.

So still, I have gathered (from my four linuxes), that if I have one or no
3c905's (or actually, cards using the same driver), it does not work. The
same worked out in two other linuxes, one with two Intel EtherExpresses and
one with a 3c905 and 3c509.

Another mystery, which might be linked to this, is that I cannot simply set
arp entries to eth1 in these two linuxes that have two cards using the 3c59x
driver. If I set it, they end up pointing to eth0, which is not my
intention.

So, if anyone has any idea, please comment on this. If not, I'll start
t(h)rashing the code :)

And sorry if I remembered the name of the driver wrong.
