I read this as "I'm pinging the card address from the machine the card is 
in, and it works," which of course it would, since by default there is a 
route that sends traffic to the card's IP through the loopback interface.

Since things wedge when sending stuff out of the interface, and the 
machine doesn't ping from an outside host, I'd say that interrupts do 
indeed seem to be the problem.
