There seems to be bugs filed that describe your problem in some aspects.
The card must not be detecting whether the cable is connected or not in
your instance.

and

Regarding information about what is going on, dmesg and var/log/messages
should let you know what is going on. I had trouble with a 3com card
that worked since RHL 5.2 go bad from one release to a newer release one
day. It took a long time to get that problem fixed. I believe messages
is where I found most failure information.

Geeze, thanks for doing the legwork for me.  I'll be sure to search bugzilla next time before posting to the list. Anyways I'll keep an eye on these bugs.
