I had similar problems with I think the same card - certainly realtek

Either I had PNP modem working or ed1 realtek ethenet card

Problem was in the end in my BIOS, I had to enable all ports as PNP/PCI
as opposed to ISA/EISA and enable OS is PNP aware - AMI BIOS 1998

OK now, however I am having a few network problems but I do not think
that this could be the cause
