If all else fails, you can always do it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth1:0 up
blahblah

I don't know if this is the cause of your problem, but...

Those cards (some? all?) have a plug-n-play option that must be
disabled for them to work correctly in linux. You must boot DOS and
use the config disk to disable this option.
