can you provide a dmesg from the machine you are having problems with.
 i think the list will specifically be interested in the "twe" lines
from the dmesg (i think those controllers use the twe driver not
sure).  Also what chipset is on the mobo, i'm not familiar with it off
the top of my head.  finally, does the BIOS detect the cards?
