Can you disable the on-board networking in the bios when using the PCI
card? There might be some sort of conflict.
Have you tried the board with Haiku? I suspect the on-board LAN will
work OK with one of the network drivers thanks to the FreeBSD
compatibility layer. I don't know if those drivers can be made
BeOS-compatible though.
