PCI Express - National Instruments DAQ Card

Hi all,

 

I have a Dell Precision 380 workstation recently hackintosh'd. Output of lspci:

 

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82955X Memory Controller Hub

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82955X PCI Express Root Port

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 01)

00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH/GHM (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 01)

00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH/GHM (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 6 (rev 01)

00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01)

00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01)

00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01)

00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 01)

00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01)

00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1)

00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR (ICH7 Family) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01)

00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 01)

00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 01)

00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 01)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43GL [Quadro FX 540] (rev a2)

03:00.0 PCI bridge: Texas Instruments XIO2000(A)/XIO2200(A) PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev 02)

04:00.0 Class ff00: National Instruments Unknown device 717d

05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01)

 

Ethernet worked out of the box (apart from the 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC address problem, fixed at each reboot...grrr), graphics was easy with NIInject, sound required AppleHDAPatcher 1.2 with the Sigmatel 9200 codec dump. Now, more importantly, I don't understand why my National Instruments data acquisition card (PCIe-6251) is not being recognized properly. The NI-supplied program lsdaq seems to recognize it as a PXI card (which it isn't), the system profiler doesn't recognize it at all, I can't run Expansion Slot Utility because apparently I'm not Mac Pro-enough even though System Profiler says I am, and frankly I'm out of ideas at this stage!

 

Anyone faced a similar problem with a niche PCIe card? I should point out that my graphics card is in fact PCIe and is in the slot right next to the PCIe-6251. Card works fine under Windows XP with proper drivers installed, I'd just prefer not to have to set up a dual boot system given that I only use the PCIe card for 20 minutes at a time maybe 3 times a day at most.

 

Any ideas would be welcome!
