I don't know what your io addresses or irq's are. Look them up in dmesg after a fresh boot. Eventually you will end up with something like this:
alias eth0 pcnet32 alias eth1 e100 options eth0 -o pcnet io=ioadder1 irq=irq1 options eth1 -o e100 io=ioadder2 irq=irq2 alias scsi_hostadapter ips alias usb-controller usb-uhci
All I see there is IRQ to pin mappings. I don't see anything relating to the nic in dmesg. I had to do a reboot earlier today due to mounting the server in a rack.
I just don't know what I should looking for.
What happens if I just shutdown, swap the card, and bring it up again?
