Thanks to both of you for your help!
One final point though:

In fact this card is actually working, it represents a broadcast address that
is used to keep shared data in sync between some application servers. the
reason that the values for packets are 0 is that I haven't used it in a
couple of weeks, (before my last reboot)
but it does work, I have used this set of cards as the only network by
unplugging the other hub.
Seems strange that it doesn't show the IP address I set in linuxconf though
as all regualr IP addresses show as normal. The Ip address is shown in
linuxconf still.
Thanks again,
I have loads to get myself going on now!
