Is the module for your card being loaded at boot up? should tell you if it's loaded. If not, can you manually load the module once the machine is up? Code: | modprobe modulename | should load the module. You can bring it up with If this works, I would suggest checking that the module is being loaded @ bootup (/etc/modules.autoload) OR compiled directly into the kernel. |

Hello,
when loading with modprobe goes fine
you might want to add your modulename
to the /etc/modules.autoload file.
Then your module is automatically loaded at every boot.
Best regards

Be sure that the module exists (I'm betting it doesn't). If it does, try to specify the full path to it. If it still fails, try to recompile your kernel and build it in, instead of using a module. |
