[SOLVED] P5W DH Help: No PCI bridge appears available (Asus wl-138g v2)

[puyi]

I've got everything working on a Retail Install on a P5W DH mobo (no sleep but this doesn't bother me) except my Asus wl-138g v2 PCI Wireless Card. I tried booting with PNP enabled and disabled. Windows XP discovers the card. I've tried the Card all three PCI slots.

 

In System Profiler, no PCI or Airport Device appears. No Airport appears in Network System Preferences. I installed OSX86 Tools and ran lspci.

 

I've attached the output, only PCI Express buses are listed. How do I enable the normal PCI bus?

I found the solution looking at the old thread in the Genius Bar "[How To] Solutions for Wireless Problems, A Compilation". I used nano to examine the IONetworkingFamily.kext and noticed the correct device ID for the wl-138g v2. I then checked the Extensions folder used by EFIStudio and saw another IONetworkingFamily.kext, which I subsequently deleted. After reboot, the Asus wireless card was recognized by Airport as well as the onboard Firewire. I'm relieved and so pleased.
