Fixed it! Found the solution here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1067222Here's what I did:
1) Reboot into generic mode
2) Created sdfix.sh in /usr/local/bin as follows:
2a) sudo modprobe -r tgs | modprobe tg3
3) Edited permissions to be executable
4) Created entry in "Startup Applications" and pointed in back to the sdfix.sh (this step could be done in rc.local too but I wanted to leave it easy to shut off if it creates problems).
5) Reboot
Based on the link above this is a known issue with switchable combo cards like the BCM57765 in all current Linux kernel builds. The fix reloads the tg3 modprobe at boot up. The only lingering issues is the delay time between inserting a card and actually receiving a pop-up. Let me know if anyone figures this out.
