eth1 not working

I have two network cards in my linux box, eth0 and eth1.
eth0 is connected to the Internet and eth1 to the LAN.

The problem is that only eth0 works. When I try to
ping via eth1, it says "Destination host unreachable".
eth0 has a static IP 82.197.7.178/255.255.248.0 and
eth1 10.0.11.2/255.255.255.0.

"ip route" says:
10.0.11.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.11.2
82.197.0.0/21 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 82.197.7.178
default via 81.197.0.1 dev eth0

I have tried different IP addressses, switching the IP
of eth0 and eth1 and even a few different network cards.
It's always the same: eth0 works and eth1 won't.

There are currently two ICL EtherTeam 16i (ISA) cards
inside and those work well in another linux machine,
but not in this.

Linux is LFS 6.1 with kernel 2.6.11.12.
Drivers are compiled statically with the kernel.

And mii-tool what does it says?

So it seems that your network card is fully functional and recognized.
Check your cabling.

What does '/sbin/ifconfig -a' report about the cards?

What does '/proc/interrupts' contain?

Your NICs are pretty old. Please check for interrupt
conflicts / availability.

Solved.
There was an irq conflict and a weird problem with eth16i
driver. After removing unused SB16 and forcing the driver
to use TP instead of autodetecting it it finally started
to work.
