Weird.
Try a much older kernel: does that re-enable anything? If so, you should
bugzilla it.
What does /sbin/lspci say: does it list both the built-in USB controller
and the ethernet device?
Did the network card ever work, or are you just trying to get it to work
now?
Try moving the add-in USB controller to another PCI slot: sometimes PCI
devices don't like sharing PCI interrupts.
Hope this helps,
James.
