That is what makes this issue interesting.  All cards are commented out
(save for lo).  The wireless card shows up without issue.  If I plug in
a USB ethernet card it shows up in NM but the built in Realtek does not.
The Realtek ethernet card works but it isn't recognized during the
Ubuntu installation process - nor during Fedora's installation (or
afterwards on Fedora.)

This occurs on two separate laptops with the same ethernet card.
