You have two problems with this and they're both PC hardware-based. 1) IRQs are limited, if you subvert the printer and COM IRQs and have a single SCSI card for your disk (and the required SVGA display controller), you can use IRQ 3,4,5,7,11,12,14,15. This will max you out at 8 NICs on a linux box. Each NIC must have its own IRQ.
Some NICs can share IRQs across slots. -Dan
