I would post /var/run/dmesg.boot. I would also check that
both boxes a physically wired the same, same system board
rev. etc.
On my multihomed box tx0 is always before sis0 which corresponds
to the device order.
tx0: <SMC EtherPower II 10/100> port 0x1400-0x14ff mem 0xf4806000-0xf4806fff
irq 9 at device 15.0 on pci0
sis0: <NatSemi DP83815 10/100BaseTX> port 0x1800-0x18ff mem
0xf4807000-0xf4807fff irq 9 at device 16.0 on pci0
