I can't tell why this is, but lspci always shows Mia in the list.

I don't know, but when the driver can't install the IRQ handler it should write "cannot grab irq\n" in the logs (type dmesg or look in /var/log/???). Please check it out. When something fails the drivers frees all its resources before exitting, so obviously you don't see its name in /proc/interrupts, but it doesn't mean the problem is IRQ related.
