intel 82579LM/82574L network not working on the same machine?

if have the following two network cards
the "02:00.0" is an additional pci-express-card and recognized as "eth0"
the "00:19.0" is on-board and ignored from the system

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

why is the on-board not activated while it is receiving broadcast-packets

DMESG:
pci 0000:00:19.0: reg 10: [mem 0xfe600000-0xfe61ffff]
pci 0000:00:19.0: reg 14: [mem 0xfe628000-0xfe628fff]
pci 0000:00:19.0: reg 18: [io 0xf080-0xf09f]
pci 0000:00:19.0: PME# supported from D0 D3hot D3cold
pci 0000:00:19.0: PME# disabled

only the PCI-Express card is recognized by udev
[root at rh:~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.
# PCI device 0x8086:0x10d3 (e1000e) (custom name provided by external tool)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:21:b6:5f:28", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0",
ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

DMESGG of the working card is much more verbose
