I saw it after the posting I made. I should have waited :-). That sounds like a similar problem. I didn't try moving this card to another slot, or reseating it yet. The RealTek on the motherboard worked fine, but the second card refused to and gave me errors.
I was too lazy to go after the problem, so I ordered another card to avoid the hassle. This was one of the few times recently that I have seen such problems. If you need some more decrepit cards from last century guaranteed to give you gray hairs, don't hesitate to ask :-).
