Yes, you are right. :) This is the output for 2.4.21-SuSE kernel. But 
previously, on the same server I was running vanilla 2.4.24 (+ grsec) and I 
am 100% sure both cards were operational because they were heavily used. 
Because I made a clean install for the purpose of trying Xen, I have never 
bothered to compile own kernel because it is not needed. 

If you need the actual output I can compile the kernel and provide it. But if 
you only need the proof that both cards are working can you trust my word for 
it?
