I have tried booting with the cable in either port, and booting with
the Realtek card removed and just the Intel onboard in place (where I
started from really) but never do I get either interface working. I've
tried booting then playing musical Ethernet cables, to no avail.

And yet it 'just works' via a bootable CD.

I'll suss that out when I get home, thanks. I'd do it now from work,
but I can't see the box because its network is no go. :-)  Chicken and
egg problem.

Maybe if I set up a video camera on the screen and some remote
manipulators for the keyboard...
