Sounds like a driver issue. The NIC is built-in so does Windows Update find a driver? Can you get one online from the manufacturer's website and install it? -
One possibility is that it has already been disabled in the current hardware profile so the device manager is not displaying it in the list of devices.
From Device Manager select View -> Show Hidden Devices and see if it appears.
Normally an enabled device will appear in the device manager even if no driver is loaded for it.Comment
