From the beginning of this thread you have claimed that the hardware is identical. No one has challenged this claim until now: it's a long shot, I know, but given the time you have invested it seems worth while to verify that the chip sets of the NICs are identical (the lspci command will probably yield sufficient detail; I'd be interested in knowing of alternative commands). Have you exhausted searching the /proc/ directory (e.g. /proc/sys/net/*). Also, Soren's remark re load order might offer a clue: I suppose you've investigated the output of the dmesg command; I'd be interested in knowing any other commands that would yield pertinent information.
