 In case it's relevant, the host also has a PCIe wm(4) ethernet card,
 i82574L and it uses MSI without issue.
 
 The siisata card is a 1x PCIe card but is installed in a 16x slot (that
 would commonly be used for a video card, but this machine has built-in
 intel video hardware).  The wm(4) card is a 1x PCIe card installed in
 a physical 1x slot.
 
 I mention this as I have seen problems with non-video cards being
 mis-identified when installed in the 16x PCIe slot.  (A 2-port wm(4)
 card in the 16x slot of a Dell OptiPlex 760 was mis-identified as an
 SDVO device by the machine's BIOS and couldn't be netbooted and didn't
 show up in dmesg when booted from local disk.)
