Sure it isn't there? Can you send the output of 'lspci -vv'? Also, send along the output of 'ls -l /proc/device-tree/bandit/'. > Also, this card still must be manually jumpered to the appropiate PCI > INTs. (INT A..D) Doesn't make any difference on Macs; all the IRQ pins (4 per slot, A...D) ar wired together on each slot.
