[PLUG] system hangs with two DFE-580TX cards

Hello,
I'm trying to build a Linux system with two DFE-580TX cards in it
(D-Link 4-Port ethernet cards). I'm using version 1.09 of the
"sundance.o" driver, which seems to detect both cards properly. I can
bring up interfaces on either card, and as long as I only use interfaces
on one card, things seem to work ok. If I try to use interfaces on both
cards, the system hangs completely -- no errors, no kernel panic.
The system assigns 4 different IRQ's to the cards, one to each port.
Then it assigns the same 4 IRQ's to the other card. I have forced the
system to use 1 IRQ for each card, but that doesn't help. I also tried
1 IRQ for all ports on both cards.
I've tried moving cards around, changing out memory, compiling the
kernel with debugging support, but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?
