You need to configure the second one. Chances are you never made an /etc/init.d/net.eth1 entry.

So... "ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth1", then to start the second card at boot "rc-update /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start"

About the third card; if it's not in lspci I have strong doubts that it is supported.
