    In my case, I needed to use the 'test' version of the driver
    for this card. Even the version with the 2.4.0pre<whatever>
    kernel did not work.

    On my motherboard, I needed to use a different PCI slot to get
    it working.  (ABIT KT-7) I recall hearing from another user
    with this mobo that had to do the same thing. Have you tried
    moving cards aroune? The 'intelligent' way to do this would
    probably be to identify which onboard devices share resources
    with the various PCI slots and determine the best layout. (I
    just tried the next empty slot and it worked.)
