When you specify 0,0 you're telling the kernel to autoprobe, the autoprobe
routine uses a series of well-known IO addresses, what address you use in
the second card??? Put one of these:

/* A zero-terminated list of I/O addresses to be probed. */
static unsigned int netcard_portlist[] =
{ 0x300, 0x280, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0};

of course the 0 at the end isn't a valid IO address, it's there just to
indicate linux/drivers/net/ne.c that there's no more addresses to probe.
