Ok, for my card, when I plug it in here's what I get in dmesg:

PCI: Enabling device 0000:07:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:07:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKD] -> GSI 11 (level,
low) -> IRQ 11
eth2: resetting device...
eth2: uploading firmware...
eth2: firmware version: 1.0.4.3
eth2: firmware upload complete
eth2: interface reset complete

So, it seems that either the driver doesn't know about the card, or it
does get bound to the card but doesn't try to upload firmware to it.  If
it did try to upload firmware, you should be seeing the "resetting
device/uploading firmware" text in dmesg.  What was the "lspci" output
again for this card?  What make, model, and brand is it?  Which version?
