Any chance that there is another (unused) nic in that system?  One plug NIC, 
two plugs modem ;-)

Also, they are probably not "the same card" to any picky technical degree.  
There are bunches of "different" cards marketed at EEPro.

Are both systems on the same kernel version (to included patches)?  Are they 
both using the EEPro driver included with that kernel?  Intel used to have 
their own module source that you could download, compile and insmod/modprobe.  
Could make a difference.
