Do you mean "SPG3", with the Intel chipset?
If so you'll have to pass the module option "csr0=0x01A04800" to avoid a PCI
burst bug that may cause problems.

Hmmm, this means that it can't find the card.
Has some other driver registered that I/O space?

Thanks for reporting the version.

Try using '-t 5' (or '-t -1' to see your options).

Grrr, this was what was broken about /proc/pci -- I can't tell what the PCI
Vendor ID and Device ID values are.  We must know those before I can tell if
the detection table in the driver is correct.  You might have to run
