I've resolved the issue with the lan city modem. It turned out to be a problem
with using 2 identical ne2000 ethernet cards. Apparrently linux in general has
problems with some of the older drivers being used at the same time. I found a
work around in the ethernet how-tos, but the only solution turned out to be
using cards which used different drivers.
