[epic] SMC9432TX/MP Not recognised by PCI bus.

I swapped the card from slot to slot and the number (as below) changed
00:48, 00:40.

I then had the sense to check if the BIOS pci bus display (before boot)
showed the card.
It didn't and a second machine couldn't find the beastie either. Interesting
that enough of the card worked enough to "show" itself to linux and light up
it's leds on the back.
Perhaps I should be more suspicious of only one supplier having the card in
stock in the UK. A return perhaps?
Thanks for your help.
