I have the same thing, but I thought it was just my bad luck sice I'm
working on the kernel. If it's the same thing you should notice in your
dmesg that both "le0" and "le1" are actually "detected" (I presume
wrongly, or at least that one of them is wrong) but ifconfig recognizes
only "le1" and errors out at any operation with le0.
