I have a Realtek 8201 onboard ethernet controller. I see it listed in system profilier as "Built in ehternet" assigned bsd device name "en0" it does not, however appear in my network control panel as a port or device that I can select. Any suggestions other than just buying a new card?

In Network Preferences, click on Show then your onboard device. Then configure it. It will most likely not work since it didn't show up right away and it's an onboard realtek device. I got my realtek onboard device to work using the tulip.kext and creating a symbolic link in /System/Library/Extensions to IONetworkingFamily.kext. The symbolic link is called com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext. You can do this easly by typing the following in the console.

cd /System/Library/Extensions
ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext
