these messages state that both ethernet controllers are configured to use
the same i/O address (0x300) - this configuration cannot work. IRQs might
be shareable, but I/O addresses may NOT.

you should configure the cards to use different I/O addresses (how - that
depends on your cards.

btw, 'm not sure if this is the issue dani was refering to, or he was
refering to IP address matters. i presume that PCI cards may be configured
via software, and that's what he meant by 'using ifconfig to give them
seperate (I/O) addresses'. if these are not PCI cards, they might be
configured by jumpers/dip-switches, or by software - depending on the type
of card you've got.
