That is Standard practice. 2 cards on the smame subnet
simply won't work.(Think - where would it send the
packet??) 
Try using a different subnet for the second one, to
see if it works in ifconfig. Set a second machine to
the subnet to see if you can ping. Then try for kernel
setup etc, but the on the same subnet just won't work
without special routing considerations.
