The problem is with the mii-tool program that doesn't recognize that card.
To have it activate, use vi and comment the following line in the script
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
if check_link_down ${DEVICE}; then
echo $" failed; no link present. Check Cable?"
ip link set ${DEVICE} down > /dev/null 2>&1
exit 1
fi
Once this is commented out, your card will work.
Please note that is a work around and not a fix.
