I decided to experiment with /sys/bus/pci and the BIOS settings to try
and understand things better.
The BIOS has a settings to enable/disable the on-board LAN. When the
Blackmagic card firmware is upgraded
bus[03] and hence the on-board LAN disappears, but the apparently unused
bus[02] is still visible and
the BIOS setting is still enabled. When the BIOS LAN settings is
disabled busses[02][03] and the on-board
LAN disappear. In both cases, the "disappeared" resources are not
restored by echo to /sys/.../rescan
Why? What can the BIOS be doing to the chipset/busses[02][03] to make
them invisible to /sys manipulation?
There is apparently something I do not understand about the H81 chipset
PCIe configuration. I have
been reading the Intel Series 8 / Series C220 Chipset documentation but
so far have come up empty.
Anybody have cluebat for me?

I'm guessing that bus[02] is reserved for a dual LAN option and is not
used in this case but may toggle with the BIOS LAN setting
