looks like you have a hardware problem with your 2nd ethernet card
try replacing it if you have a spare card

is your kernel able to support that interface?
have you taken a look at that?
what is the device manufacturer?
and another one:
Linux 9.0????
are you sure this is a distribution? or is 9.0 a distribution's version?

Take a look at the output of 'lspci -v'. I'm wondering if the two NIC cards are using the same interupt. This may be a problem if you have isa cards or don't use acpi.

Here is a FAQ on ethernet with a section on problems with two NIC cards. Maybe it will help.

Another Idea, (I'm assuming you have Mandrake Linux) is to make a rescue cd with the command mkrescue --iso. Then burn the cdrom image. There is a diagnostic menu selection that will look at your system and suggest needed kernel boot options. It just may notice something.

8139too usually is a 100 mbit PCI card
your output of "lspci" (as root) may help.
