I saw a few instances of people having problems with NIC's that use the e1000 driver. Some with non-specific problems most referring to "TCP segmentation offload" not working. Of course its not really a "card" its a chipset integrated onto the motherboard, and there are a few versions of it I believe. Why it was switched on on one machine running the same OS I don't know. As a mentioned the NIC's were slightly different models of the same chipset, and the history of the OS's was slightly different also.
