Can you be more specific? Like what is your config file now? What does
dhclient say?

Does it see one of them? Which kernel are you using? I think that the
GENERIC kernel has support only for ep0 at isa. You might want to
turn plug and play on both cards and let the pnp driver take over.
Otherwise you probably need to compile a custom kernel.
