The 4-port card has two 82546 dual-port controllers behind a PCI-X
bridge.  Your symptoms suggest interrupt routing didn't get setup
correctly for the controllers behind the bridge.  I've seen more than
one case where the BIOS gets this wrong.  The fix is to upgrade to the
latest BIOS.  Hopefully this is the fix for you.  :-)
