For the first card, use the ODI driver SMC8000.COM. I suggest you
first try to put the card in a computer and simply load the driver.
The driver is intelligent enough to find the card by itself. As for
the configuration, earlier SMC/WD cards can only be configured with
jumpers, later cards can both be configured by software and by
jumpers. The latest drivers and configuration program can be obtained
at http://www.smc.com. 

As for the second card I don't know what card it is. It might be a
NE2000 compatible card, so you might test the NE2000.COM driver.
