I'd look for port address conflicts.  On my Dell I5000, the ltmdm
uses ports that the card drivers don't seem to notice (or vice versa).
The result is that I have to wait to load if_dc until after the ltmdm
is loaded.

One way to see if this is happening to you is to boot without the card
and see if it then works when you plug it in.
