Brad,

According to your lspci printout, you have probably 8 ethernet ports on two 
four-head ethernet cards based on two-head Intel chips and this need 
separately compiled igb driver not included in standard kernel. DL contains 
igb driver, but in version 1.3.19.3 from 2009-03-19. Maybe this old driver is 
improper for so new devices, as your Portland?

So you can try compile your own DL with replaced sources from 
igb-1.3.19.3.tar.gz to maybe last stable igb-3.2.9.tar.gz and test this new 
driver with your cards. If result will be positive, probably this driver will 
be renewed in standard DL distribution.

Igb driver sources are on sourceforge:
