I did exactly that.  I reversed the connections and when run standalone, both
cards can talk over either network.

ifconfig -a looks fine, the only problem I see is that ep0 will not come up
in running state even though the ifconfig.ep0 file exists in /etc

I can manually start it and get it working - again only by itself.

Thanks,

Doug
