Thanks for the replies.  network_interfaces omission was a copy&paste
error (sharp eye, though).  

fxp1 (mis)behaves the same way.

I put a 3com 3c905b-TX in and it's working ok but this won't really do
long-term (but at least I know the motherboard is ok).  I need 2
interfaces on the box - it's a 2u rack mount and there's not enough
available slots for another NIC.

Are there any known issues with the fxp driver or any config flags or
other magical incantations I can try?  I upgraded the BIOS, I'll try
switching PCI slots.

Is there any other diagnostic information I could gather that would help?

As a last resort, can anyone recommend any non-i82559 based dual ethernet
cards?

Thanks again,
Steve
