Can't get TWO Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PCI at same time

Hi. Help! I can't get both Linksys EtherFast 10/100
PCI cards working at same time.  I've seen a post on
DejaNews of someone else having the same problem. He
gave up :-)

Does anyone have a successful TWO Linksys EtherFast
10/100 PCI card machine running?  I wanted to use
this as an IP masquerading firewall...

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HELP!

======================================

My cards are both PNIC 169 chipset.

I'm using tulip.c v.90F with kernel 2.0.36

Here's my LILO info:

in /etc/lilo.conf:
append = " ether=0,0,eth1"
(I think this is all I am supposed to do -- tell me
 if I'm missing something -- and, yes, I ran /sbin/lilo
 afterwards.  BTW, if I try to specify which eth#
 to use with which IRQ card, it ignores me.  Bug?)

And my dmesg info:
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0xfc00, 00 a0 cc 25 ae f5, IRQ 10.
eth0:  MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7809 advertising 01e1.
