I'm not sure why you have both cards in here in the
first place.

The routing tables are identical, so when both cards
are plugged in, the results are unpredictable.   

You could adjust the 'metric' line for the card you
take out to be higher than the card you leave in.  It
would then prefer the card you leave in, but if it's
not there, it would use the other card.   The lines
that configure this are in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 on a
slackware system.
