Take a look at your /proc filesystem:

/proc/pci contains the PCI cards found and addresses assigned to them. If all your cards do not appear here, there is zero chance that they will all be recognized by the driver. Could one card be bad?

/proc/interrupts contains the interrupts assigned to various devices

/proc/ioports lists the I/O port ranges used by various configured devices

The above info can be combined with each card's physical MAC address (output by "ip addr", along with the IP address) to see which cards are actually being seen by the system.

I'd suspect you either have a bad card, or it's possible the NIC driver will only support a maximum of 3 cards (although this would be somewhat unusual...I've heard of limits of 1 card and two cards, but not three cards, especially for PCI NICs).
