cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports
/sbin/ifconfig -a
dmesg | more | look for both cards being detected

The command you're referring to, modprobe, is used to install
modules. If you've compiled the network card driver as a module,
and it's not automatically loading (/etc/conf.modules) then you
may need to use it.

I believe Linux only probes for one ethernet card on boot, unless
you pass it an option on the lilo line. It's been so long since I
read what that was, and I never had to use it, that I've
forgotten, but if you check the docs/howtos for
networking/firewalling/lilo, I'm sure it's there.
