I have spent some time looking through the boot logs to see if the card is detected, but I see no sign of it. I get the message: pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of mem resources. Max: 12 Found: 12 Other than that the on-board chip signs on as: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded eth0: RTL98168b/8111b at 0xf89ce000, 00:1c:25:69:ee:07, XID 38500000 IRQ 220 Could one RTL chipset be masking the other?
