If I understand correctly, one of the NICs is working
in BL3 using the 8139too module, but the second NIC
is not working in BL3.  Is that correct?

BL3 is targeted at old hardware.  The 2.2.26 kernel
and modules are several years old and work best with
hardware of that era.  Newer hardware may or may not 
work (depending on how closely it follows the old 
standards).

Cheers,
Steven
