So what does your dmesg say?  It appears both cards are recognized fine.
You have ed0 and ed1 in your messages.  If they are recognized fine in
hardware then it's just a configuration issue.
This I don't know what it is, but it does not seem to have to do with a
hardware problem.

Not the best idea in the world to post your IP address to a public forum.

nope that doesn't necesarily mean a memory or IRQ problem.

Well you should probably go somewhere where you can get acces to more
bandwidth and research your problem.  The more you know, the more people
that understand the problem (definitely not me in this case) can help.
