Nah... the BIOS doesn't even pick it up, so Linux doesn't even know it
exists. It seems that on the X86 arch, if the card's info doesn't show up
in the pci chipset's "directory", the kernel doesn't know about it.
Nothing shows up in /proc/pci. No message (before I added the vendor and
device id #s) saying unknown PCI device found when the kernel did its PCI
init. It seems that with an Award BIOS, a non chipset PCI bridge device
just does not exist.
I may not be explaining myself well, if so I apologise.
