Have you tried reversing the order of the entries in /etc/modules and
swapping cables? Cards do go bad, but it isn't clear that this is the
problem to me.
I have had no problems with my SMC cards, other than making sure their
configuration settings were compatible with each other and the existing
hardware in the box ("mem").

Don't feel too bad... many ISPs would be just as puzzled as you are, which
explains why getting information out of them is difficult.

Almost convinced. Verify card configuration, and try swapping network
assignments.
