   I'm not a low-level hardware guru, either, but I've seen lots of
systems with more than one EISA card in 'em work just fine.  For
example, one of our clients has a machine with two Adaptec 2742AT
host adapters and an NE3200 network card.  All EISA.  No problems.
We have lots of other clients with systems with multiple EISA
cards that work very nicely, thank you.

   Can you try another brand of EISA NIC?  I know most people don't
have a large stock of these things lying around and don't have time
to experiment, but either it's a problem with Accton's board (and
they're BSing you) or it's a problem with your motherboard's
implementation of EISA.  Putting an entirely different EISA NIC
in should settle which one it is.
