Hi Joey --

The device isn't even showing up as 'not configured', which could mean 
one of a few things:

  1. Your motherboard may need the following additional options:
options         PCI_ADDR_FIXUP          # fixup PCI I/O addresses
options         PCI_BUS_FIXUP           # fixup PCI bus numbering
  2. This may be a bug in 4.0.1 that has been fixed in 5.0_BETA.
  3. If the card is built-in, it may be disabled in the BIOS.
  4. The card is installed incorrectly or faulty.

Hope this helps,
Jared
