Are these two cards ISA, with dual 10base2 10baseT connectors attached?
If so it may be a matter of configuring the cards to talk via the
correct interface. Either jumpers or a dos based config program was the
usual way of reconfiguring them.
Some early ne2000 PCI cards also required software to set the correct
interface.

linuxconf sound like it's an old redhat version? /etc/conf.modules (or
/etc/modules.conf after they fixed it) was the place where the IO and
IRQ values actually went, see if they are being written to the file and
aren't being stored in memory (thus lost on reboot). linuxconf had some
issues in the early days.
