Jeff,
I noticed a problem with the tulip driver on this particular card, it
may just be me. I have the adaptec 6922 dual port card installed in my server, runs great with the tulip driver, but at start up I have do something that is quite not the norm. Most of the time it works, if I do a warm restart but I do a cold restart I have to do the following to get my network card to recoginze both ports.

Boot up and wait till everything is loaded, stop the network services. Remove the tulip driver. Modprobe the tulip driver and restart network services, and then I either start all the services looking for the eth1 adapter or just do a warm boot.

If you need a card to play around with, I have a spare one laying around I can send you.
