i actually had somewhat similar problem only with onboard bge nics on
older tyan motherboards. when i upgraded from 7.x to current (amd64
arch) both onboard bge nics disappeared. i had to go to the bios
screen and set "installed os" (or something like that) to "linux".
other choices were "windows" and "other" (default).

thanks,
