I have similar problems on 1.3D and earlier; I haven't tried it on recent
-current.  I have three cards, two of which read "INTEL 8/16 LAN ADAPTER"
and one which says "INTEL ETHEREXPRESS 16" - both cards of which are nearly
identical electronically, down to the main control logic.  None of these
probe.

There's probably something in the detection code that is missing out on
these (I hazard a guess that at least the "8/16" adapters are much older
than the ones ix0 recognizes).
