Thanks, Problem is that you probably have your card in the slots controlled by the second bandit host bridge; which is not automatically scanned. Try moving your card into a different slot (close to the graphics card). Of the six slots, three each are controlled by a separate bandit host bridge. I'm working on a patch that scans the second PCI bus as well. I'll let you know when I have something available.
