You need to ascertain whether it's the card or the slot that's the problem. Try the card in a different machine (even if it's just an ordinary PC) and make sure it works in there. If possible, try another NIC in the Soekris and see if that works.

I seem to (vaguely - it's several years since I've used the 5501) recall that the PCI slot doesn't support both 3.3v and 5v. I honestly can't remember which way round it was though...

Update: a quick read of its spec sheet indicates it only supports 3.3v:

So it might be that your Intel NIC is expecting 5v signalling, especially if it's an old (pre-PCI 2.2) card.

This could be a power issue, the soekris boxes are low power and can't run all the peripherals that match the interface's form factor.
