I have a sneaking feeling that you turned it on and tried the activation before the new nic was correctly installed. It is (to me) the only way to describe the faliure of the activation wizard. If the machine can't contact the internet then it makes sense that the activation will fail.
Any answer on this one? I'm curious whether the NIC was working (with correct drivers) when you tried to reactivate.
