Generally there's no reason the two shouldn't get along. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the driver for the Intel LAN? If you want to be sure there's no trouble related to the card, pull it out.

Beyond that, you can test boot from a Linux (Ubuntu, for example) Live CD.

It won't run fast since it's loading off a DVD or a flash drive but all the functionality of the pre-loaded software is present, including a good number of device drivers. Intel generally does a good job providing drivers for the Linux kernel.

If the LAN works in Ubuntu, consider resetting Windows from the built-in utility in Windows. Otherwise, it may be easier to get a wired network card than to exchange the board (if it's still under warranty).
