No, not at all...
If the PCI bus doesn't see it there's no way to get it working
in linux(or any other OS for that matter).
Perhaps there is an IRQ conflict, check the IRQs on the system,
and try the NIC in a different PCI slot. Try disabling some
on board features(parallel port, serial port etc if you don't
need them) to free up IRQs.
IRQ's are fully sharable on PCI, all PCI devices can use a single
hardware IRQ with no problems.
Pull out the other NICs and just try that 3rd NIC to try to
verify that the NIC itself is OK or not.
I'd suggest trying the NIC in a different slot.
Many BIOSs print out the various PCI cards and their IRQs as
part of the POST process, usually just before the boot loader
kicks in, if yours does this make sure you see that 3rd NIC
on there before linux boots up.
and in fact, that display often shows the bus.slot.func too, which is
the same info shown on lspci
