Have you tried to sniff the traffic produced by the card? Does all look
well

Have you uninstalled the NIC in the Device Manager, deleted out its
referenced entry in the registry (
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interf
aces\{NIC GUID} ) restart the machine, disable the NIC in the BIOS. Boot
the machine, verify the regkey is gone, then enable the NIC in the BIOS and
let Windows find the NIC again?
