I am using a PCI analyzer and it shows the bus in an idle state after

couple of interrupts from the card which appear to be handled
correctly.  Anything I should be looking for in particular?

I'd try to check with other machine using "secondary" bus slot.
BTW: Are you able to analyze the "primary" bus transactions while
using the card in "secondary" bus? Perhaps there is something
wrong in front of the motherboard bridge?

A broken motherboard may be hard to diagnose, unfortunately.

Can you post something like "lspci -vv" taken on both machines?
I will post more info on Monday when I am able to power them up.

I'm not so sure the motherboard is broken, I am leaning more towards a misconfigured bridge. This computer is a 4U 19 inch rackmount chassis with a PCMIG CPU and a 12 slot PCI backplane. I have done a lot of testing with this box trying to characterize this problem. In one case I have put 3 Intel PRO 100S NICs on the secondary PCI bus and they ran under heavy stress test loads overnight. The 4 port NIC seems to be the only card that doesnt want to cooperate.
