Yes and No, respectively.

Instead of using something like
 # modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=10
to install the module, use something like
 # modprobe ne io=0x300,0x220 irq=10,11

This is necessary even with drivers that normally autprobe, as they
stop looking once they've found the first card.

Just modprobe works fine, ifconfig can find them both (2x 3c905b).
