If lspci doesn't show it, the drivers won't find it. Which makes me
wonder why the drivers don't complain of not finding hardware when you
modprobe them.

Check the BIOS to be sure that the Realtec card isn't being
ignored. Some BIOSes show a list of hardware found during boot. You
may also have to go into the BIOS setup and make sure it isn't being
ignored.

Try swaping the two cards. Just a hunch and a bit of magic incantation
that sometimes works.

Does the mii driver show up?

Should work.
