Apologies in advance if this is an insulting question... Did you power down the modem after trying the lappy and before trying the NIC? Because of the different MAC addresses between the different devices, you'd need to reboot the modem for it to recognise the NIC.

If so, then I'd agree... sounds like a knackered NIC.
