For fear of sounding "anal" here I try my best anyway. It seems to me
that I sould only be showing 2 cards, the Realtek and the D-Link. I am
running Windows right now because I am working, but the device manager
in Windows shows the same thing, here it is:

1. D-Link DFE-530TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev. C)
2. Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
3. Realtek RTL8139/810X Family PCI Fast Ehternet NIC # 2

Now unless I am reading this wrong is this not showing me 3 NIC's???
However on the back I see to. About the why? Well, the Realtek was
giving me problems so I bought the D-Link and was too lazy to take it
out. Just being honest.

Typo, I meant generally to say "you can't see it"

I'll try that

See above list.
