I just realized something I changed on my system when I reconfigured it which turns out to have allowed the nic to work previously. I disabled an extra sata controller on the system which I wasn't using anymore and then the nic would no longer work. I enabled it again and it works now, lol.
This definitely appears to be a timing issue!
My particular setup is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 motherboard which has a Marvell 88e8056 gigabit nic.
