What kernel version are you using, and which Linksys cards are they? I had some problems with errors on my Linksys LNE100TX under Kernel 2.2.17, where it would be unable to connect for a few minutes after powering the system on (ifconfig reported transmit errors). I upgraded to Kernel 2.4.0 and the problem went away. They also added some other improvements for multiple ethernet card configurations to that release, so you might want to give it a shot.
