Since you've already tried to get it recognized, you should have seen a line
in the PCI detection saying `...vendor X, device X, ... not configured'.  If
you wish to catch these numbers and post them, we could probably identify
the card.

My guess is that this is the AIC7890, which is the exception to the rule
(it's a completely different chipset than the rest of the 78xx line, and not
yet supported).
