John,
I'm far from a guru, but looking at your dmesg I don't see
a lan card there at all. Here are the first few steps:
1- Check the hardware compatability list to make sure the
lan card is supported.
2- Take a look and make sure the lan card is seated in it's
slot properly. I have had this happen a few times with
smaller cards not seating all the way (it's probably because
of my fat paws).
btw, for an add on card, you probably won't see anything in the
systems bios, that is unless bios systems have
gotten much more functional than they were last time I looked.
