I recently had this exact same problem in a Dell PowerEdge 4400 with an Intel Fiber gigE card. All I did was move it to a different PCI slot, which changed the IRQ, and all was well. Have you tried putting the card in a different slot on the broken machine or changing th IRQ from 10 to something else (via your BIOS)?
