Seems to be something buggy with pci-e cards and maybe windows machines? I do know with multiple machines I've had my pci-e uad octo card periodically does not show up. The fix I discovered for this is to go into bios and turn off LAN on the mobo, reboot once with no LAN. It shows it working again, reboot into bios again, turn LAN back on, reboot, and it works again. Strange fix but leads me to think there is something between pci-e and onboard LAN? I'd like to try and update the firmware without internet enabled but it seems there is no way to do that? Just a theory for a potential fix here.
