With 2.5.71, have lost second 3c509 card (i386 UP).
>From kernel boot log with 2.5.71 get
eth%%d: 3c5x9 at 0x300, BNC port, address 00 20 af 26 bf 2c, IRQ 10.
>From kernel boot log with 2.5.70 get
eth0: 3c5x9 at 0x300, BNC port, address 00 20 af 26 bf 2c, IRQ 10.
eth1: 3c5x9 at 0x310, 10baseT port, address 00 60 08 15 31 84, IRQ 9.
Checking on a single card system (SMP), the
eth%%d: indication was introduced with 2.5.70-bk10.

As a followup, reverted the 3c509 bk10 changes. Back in business
with 2.5.71.

Are you using command line port number specifications?
If so, what do they look like?

Yes, that explains why the second card isn't found.
The problem is:
1) the we can't assign a name to the device
until we've registered it with the networking
2) without a name the boot argument lookup doesn't work
3) we have to register the device with the networking only
after it is initialized
Hmmm...

Crap. AFAICS, the clean solution would be to pass these guys (blah_probe())
expected device name. And let them do allocation, etc., themselves.
Looking into it...
